Saturday -- Train where many legends were born!

If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything in it, And which is more - you'll be a Man, my son. Rudyard Kipling.

Join us at the I&M Canal at 8 a.m. Park in the Metra/Trail Lot which is on Archer Road just west of Willow Springs Road. A map is attached for your convenience.

There is an 8, 11, and 19 mile option. This course is almost impossible to get lost on so if you're directionally or pace challenged you'll be safe here.

Keep in mind the Ridge Run on Memorial Day - it has been deemed an official reunion run for all current & past members of the best running team in the area.

Note: If you're going to post negative comments on the site - please have the guts to attach your name.

Tinley Track & Trail 10 Year Reunion Race

In honor of TT&T achieving this great milestone of 10 years together we thought we'd try to get everyone together regardless of whether you ran with TTT the first 2 years or the last 2 (or any in between for that matter) and reminisce about all the good times. Long lost skull Candy Herrick has communicated the following through the Skullmaster, and I have been given the honor of posting. More details will follow shortly in the right hand column.

Hello Fellow Skulls,
It's been awhile hasn't it? Could it be 10 years since we really got this group going? I know a lot has changed since then and I thought after 10 long years we should get everyone together and catch up. There's no better way to get everyone together than at a race. The Ridge Run in Beverly offers a 5K and 10K, so enter for the distance that fits your current physical condition. If you have no physical condition these days, why not put on a fanny pack and walk hand in hand with the other walkers in the 5K walk. Or you could always cheer on your favorite skull and throw balloons at their next closest competitors.

The website for the race is as follows:

I do know that Dick's Sporting Goods will be promoting this race as part of their National Runners Month - so if you are considering this event, do not delay and sign up today!!
It would be great to see you and please forward to any skulls I omitted- I am pretty sure my email address list is outdated.

Hugs and Kisses,

Skull Princess
