Run with the best

Fast Track Racing Team is a Chicago area running club for all runners to share and continue their personal journeys and running experiences. Whether it's training, racing, pacing, or having fun, the team strives to inspire. The team operates collectively as a whole for the purposes of providing a fulfilling and enriching experience regardless of ability. Since becoming a team in 2009, Fast Track has netted CARA Team CHAMPION ("Combined Club" category) status in 8 of the 16 years we've competed in the CARA Runners' Choice Circuit, including the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 seasons. We've also won the Men's Open Club Category in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Long runs are the staple of any running plan. They are awesome in themselves, but are even better in good company.

While Fast Track has always had self-organized long runs among runners of similar paces, this year we are bringing everyone together at Team Long Runs!
Location:
Busse Woods cul-de-sac
Map & Directions:

Time:
7:30 AM
Team Long Runs are at a different location each time. We schedule them here on our Team's website and post reminders in the members-only Facebook group. Members are encouraged to RSVP on the Team's website.

The group naturally breaks into different pace groups and meets at a nearby coffee shop or restaurant for brunch after the run. Walkers are also welcome!
