Frosty Five Race

We've received our first completed applications for the first Ghisallo Running Frosty Five road race on February 16, 2008. The race will begin at 8:00 a.m. at the store at the intersection of North & South and Delmar and make two 2.5 miles loops through University City before finishing where it began. The entry fee is $15 before February 9 and $20 after this date, including race day. The fee includes a uniquely designed race logo t-shirt and the chance to win attendance prizes of shoes, socks, gift certificates, etc. The Anheuser-Busch 180 energy drink will be provided to all participants. A pair of running shoes will be given to the first overall male and first overall female runners and the top three in each age group will also receive awards.

Yoga Begins January 8, 2008!

Mark your calendar for the second Tuesday of the new year when Ghisallo Running and The Center for Mind, Body, and Spirit initiate their "Yoga for Runners" program. Each Tuesday from 7:15-8:30 p.m. Alexandra Templer will instruct runners on how to relieve tight muscles and tendons through poses designed to initiate them into the ancient practice of yoga. For those who desire a warm-up, a short run will leave the store at 6:30 p.m. Please wear loose clothing and bring a mat to the first session. We will also have mats for sale. A class card of 10 sessions is $100 and a one-time drop-in session is $12. All are welcome regardless of the level of flexibility!

Monday Evening Runs Continue in New Year

Be sure to keep the first evening of each week open on your calendar as Ghisallo Running will continue its 6:30 p.m. run in 2008. The route begins at the store and heads south up North $ South and Meramec to Maryland, makes a left turn and continues to Hanley, then a right turn here to Wydown and a left turn at this intersection and east until this street ends at Skinker. From this point the route and the group splits with runners on the longer course entering the park for a loop before returning to the store via the outward bound route. The runners on the shorter route make a left turn at Skinker and head north to Forest Park Parkway before winding their way through neighborhoods which seem to change each week on the way back to the store. The short route is 6 miles and the long route is 11-12 miles. All levels of runners are welcome!
