PRG Newsletter – May 2026 by Performance Running Gym

What a month! This last month our Spring racing season kicked off with a BANG! Locally, our PRG members and coaching clients had stellar races at events like the Zumbro Endurance Run, Get in Gear Races, and the Chippewa Trail Races. On the national stage, we got to watch athletes from the gym run the streets of Boston in what was one of the best weather days in the recent history of the race. And who can forget – the first sub 2-hour marathon in history at London Marathon just last weekend!

Spring is undoubtedly the most exciting time of the year to be a runner, and there is no shortage of motivation or inspiration if you look around.

As we head into May, we’re looking forward to the first PRG sponsored events of the year at CityTrail Loppet and the Superior Spring Trail Races, trail group runs every Tuesday with The Loppet Foundation at Wirth Park; and of course, Wednesday Night Group Runs at PRG – which include a handful of demo nights with footwear brands this month.

We hope you come out and run with us in May! See you on the trails!
