605 Run Crew Track Program

A 6-Week Training Experience Designed for Every Runner

The 605 Run Crew Track Program is a structured, supportive, and community-focused 6-week training series designed to help runners build confidence, improve speed, learn proper technique, and deepen their enjoyment of the sport. Whether you're new to the track or looking to sharpen your workouts, this program provides the coaching, education, and connection to take your running to the next level.

This program is built by the 605 Coaching Team through our Coaching Pillar initiative—emphasizing individualized coaching, group development, purposeful workouts, and ongoing education.

We are thrilled to welcome Dynamic Life Physical Therapy to our weekly programming. Each week we will have Trevor Bartlett PT, DPT on site to answer questions and support the program.

Program Overview

Duration: 6 weeks

Dates: April 7th - May 12th

Location: Harrisburg East (final schedule pending facility coordination)

Day & Time: Tuesday evenings at 6:05pm

Each session follows a structured, runner-friendly format balancing training, instruction, and connection:

• Welcome & check-in

• Community-building warm-up

• Dynamic drills & running form instruction

• Track-based workout designed for all ability levels

• Cooldown, reflection, and optional coach-led motivation talk

• Our program blends systemized coaching with a fun, approachable environment. We meet you where you are—no pace is too slow, and no experience is required.

What to Expect Each Week

The program progresses in a thoughtful, intentional arc to build confidence and capability:

Week 1: Introduction & Comfort Building

A structured, formulaic first session to help ease nerves, learn track basics, and get to know the group. Includes icebreakers, simple drills, and time-based running to ensure everyone starts together.

Week 2: Adaptation

Focusing on getting comfortable with consistent, repeatable track sessions. Continued emphasis on technique and pacing without pressure.

Week 3: Key Running Terms & Concepts

Understanding language used in training (effort levels, intervals, recovery) and applying them in a practical workout.

Week 4: Track vs. Road Running

How these environments differ and how to use the track effectively. Includes controlled speed and form work.

Week 5: Speed Development

Time-based tempo work, fartlek-style sessions, and optional relays to build camaraderie and confidence. No excessively long track reps (no 1200s or beyond) to ensure accessibility for all.

Week 6: Long-Term Application

Using what you've learned to build lasting habits. This session ties everything together and prepares runners to take their new skills into summer racing, group runs, or personal training plans.

Program Philosophy

The 605 Run Crew Track Program is more than workouts—it’s a community. Our coaches bring experience from competitive running, youth coaching, and adult group training, all with a goal of:

• Making runners feel welcome

• Building relationships and confidence

• Creating meaningful improvement through consistent coaching

• Encouraging personal growth on and off the track

• Each session includes optional motivational elements led by the coaching team, inspired by experiences in athletic camps and group training environments.

Welcome to our 11th Annual Remember the Fallen 5K run/walk! We are excited to provide in person and virtual race options. The event is hosted by the South Dakota Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 1. This event is a way to remember those Law Enforcement Officers who have lost their lives serving their communities, as well to say thank you for those who continue to protect our communities every day!

This year's event will come at the end of National Police Week. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Currently, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, DC to participate in a number of planned events which honor those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

The countdown is on—whether you’re running, walking, cheering, or celebrating, you’re part of the Skedaddle community.

See you at the start line in 2026! 🏁

Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is a rare genetic disorder that significantly increases the chance that you’ll have certain kinds of cancerous (malignant) tumors and noncancerous (benign) tumors and cysts. The cause of VHL is a mutation to the VHL gene. Everyone has a VHL gene and its job is to put the brakes on tumor growth in the human body. If you have VHL, your VHL gene lacks that component and at times will excel tumor growth throughout the body. Historically, the average life expectancy for an individual with VHL was around 40 to 52 years, but advancements in early diagnosis and treatment in the last 20 years have increased it to 67 years for males and 60 years for females. We want to be part of raising that number.

We are grateful for what God-through technology & science, has done; but our race doesn't stop there! We want to run the race and fight hard until a cure is found! From this desire-the "Good Race" non-profit was born. It started with a man living with VHL (and dominating it), siblings (and their spouses) who are his biggest fans and admirers, and a friend (who happens to be a run coach) with a heart of Gold and a passion for making a difference. Together our team is working to bring to light what VHL is and to make sure no one will ever fight alone. Alongside of you, we will raise money and awareness so those with this disease may live a life without limits. Our aim: to bring Glory to God and to open eyes to what God can do even through our toughest obstacles. We are excited to have you be a part of that! Please share this race with your family and friends. This will be a family friendly run, so bring out the whole crew and the best part: THERE WILL BE COFFEE :) We can't wait to run with

you!
