PARTNERS AND PROGRAMS

Two of 312's favorite words are represented in the acronym CARA -
no, not area and association - CHICAGO & RUNNERS. 

For over 32 years CARA has represented and supported the Chicagoland running community through advocacy, training programs and as the presenter of some of the areas most popular races.  312 is proud to partner with CARA on the following events:

• The three 6 series training programs which offer training programs consisting of 6 training runs with a "fun run" attitude.  These runs start and end at local  bars, pubs and beer gardens and offer distance and speed choices for all levels and abilities.  The best part - 312 will purchase your first beer after each run!  In addition, CARA will offer appetizers and raffle prizes at each run.

• 6 Leaf Clover Series : Dates - Spring 2012 (Training for the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle)
• 6 Summer Nights Series : Dates - July (Training for the Champions Run 10K/5K)
• 6 Drumstick Series: Dates TBD (Training for your local Turkey Trot)

• CARA Lakefront 10 Miler  (April 16th) serves as a spring tune-up or a perfect compliment to your half marathon/marathon training.  If you need extra motivation take comfort in knowing that 312 will be your reward at the end of this race which takes place along Chicago's lakefront.

• CARA Ready to Run 20 Miler (September) - Maybe you need to get in that last long run before the Marathon taper begins or you just really want to work for that 312 at the finish line - either way, this is one of the highlights of Summer for many of us.

Cheers CARA, keep up the good work!
