What is a "shake out" run?

A shake out run is a short, easy-paced run designed to loosen up the muscles, usually done the day before a big race. It helps you reduce any stiffness and mentally prepare for the race the next day, without tiring yourself out. A shake out run should be done at a very relaxed, conversational pace.

Place

500 Sagamore PKWY W
Suite 3-2
West Lafayette, IN US 47906

Description

Join us on Friday, October 17th for a 1, 2, or 3 mile shakeout run/walk from Fleet Feet West Lafayette! Shakeout runs are designed to be short and easy in order to help runners loosen up their muscles and release some of their nerves before race day. 

We will open at 7:30 am and get the run/walk started at 8 am. This is a great chance to grab any last minute gear or nutrition before the Purdue Half Marathon and 5k races on Saturday.

We will provide bagels and coffee from Panera to enjoy after the shakeout.
