Second of four low key races to keep your competitive spirit going through the winter months, or more important just to keep you running or walking during the winter no matter what the weather. After the last race ( March Hare ) a hoodie will be given to all who finished at least three of the four races. Hoodies will be given to all that finish at least three of the four Winter Series races, The Jingle Bell; Icicle ; Valentine Classic; and the March Hare. They will be given out at the March Hare.

From Pool Panic to Open Water Power Stop fighting the water. Dial in stroke efficiency, eliminate anxiety, and get start-line sharp for the 2027 race season. Whether you are an adult-onset swimmer training for your first triathlon start line, or an experienced competitor hitting a multi-year pace plateau, just swimming more thoughtless YARDS in the pool will not fix mechanical flaws. Eighty percent of swim struggle comes down to two bottlenecks: Breathing and Body Pitch. Sinking legs act like anchors, improper breathing spikes your heart rate, and "slipping" through the water leaves you exhausted before you even touch your bike or hit your first feed. This six-part series provides the hands-on diagnostic coaching and kinesthetic feedback you cannot get from a screen or fitness tracker. Each clinic includes 30 minutes of dryland instruction and video concept breakdown, followed by 60 to 75 minutes of coached in-water execution. Attend individual dates, pick a custom combination, or register for a discounted series pass.

Although we only train as a group once a week, participants should expect to be devoting time for 3-4 workouts each week in order to maximize their progress.

KAR is please to hold the third edition of it Running Mechanics Workshop this coming January and February. In an effort to improve the Workshop, this year it will be held at Western Michigan University's Reed Field House so that on track form drills can be added to put into practice the skill being taught during the first half of each class session.

Then, at following Workshop sessions, we will cover corrective strength and mobility exercises during the first half or so of a session before moving to the indoor track to practice good running mechanic drills. The drills will include important, fundamental drills repeated each week to build a strong foundation of movement and then some drills particular to the topic of the day.
