Winter Athletes on the Go

Stuff We Love

Dec. 17, 2022

Let’s face it: It’s hard to find the motivation to get outside and run in the winter. (For some of us, it’s hard to find the motivation to run, period.) That’s why we love that a local high schooler, Ava King, decided to organize the Traverse City Northern Lights (TCNL) running club, a peer-led group for high school distance runners in the five-county area. If your student is into track or cross-country and using a treadmill for the next six months just doesn’t appeal, then sign them up for some accountabili-buddies with TCNL. The group will meet twice a week at the Civic Center in Traverse City near Howe Arena so teens can train, find new running friends, and stay in the loop on opportunities to participate in indoor meets throughout the winter. (Note: This is not a school-sponsored club.) Get more information and sign up at https://forms.gle/2WFzmN15xX1tSAYS9.
