Fun fact: In the summer,
CBRC women outnumber
the men. In the winter, it's
the opposite. Here we are
enjoying cool, post-run
beverages at Stella's
rooftop after a Thursday
evening run. Carbo-loading,

The schedule for CBRC is set up to ensure a
coach is present for the club that meets that
day. When the weather gets warmer, we'll
meet a little earlier on Saturday mornings.
We meet on the hour, give announcements
at 10 minutes after the hour, and get out the
door as close as we can to 15 minutes past.

Marathon and another ten TCM. By 2006 we had 40
runners run TCM, 10 more did the 10-mile, and 40+

fun. Now we've grown to over 100 strong!

The running club meets in Calhoun Beach Club, but you do not have to be a member of
the CBC to join the running group. Many runners do become members, but those who
don't still enjoy these amenities on run days:

CBRC Running Groups
Everyone joining the CBRC joins the Run Club, and those that want to train with coaches during
the various training sessions will join the Training Group. We define the Training Group as
those runners who elect to receive a schedule or otherwise choose to run with the Training
Group runners. Each year there are guaranteed to be at least two training sessions based
around Grandma's and the Twin Cities Marathons, and in 2009 we also train for Boston and
various other races. The Training Group right now is divided by speed into three sub-groups:
Greens, Blues, and Golds.
