Jump Right In and Run!
Storm Lake Running Club is a collection of runners from the avid racer to the casual runner, from the 5K “wannabe” to the marathoner. Surely there’s a place in the club for a runner like you. Learn more about the running club or join us for a run along the lake.
Club runs
Club runs begin Saturday, April 25, at 8 a.m. Join us in the east parking lot of King's Pointe Waterpark Resort for a 45-minute run/walk along Storm Lake's shore. Joining the running club is free!
It's about a goal
Congratulations to Dr. Troy Ivey! He ran the Boston Marathon on April 20, 2009 in 3:25:29.
Invitations to participate in the Boston Marathon depend on a combination of a runner's age and marathon completion on a sanctioned course.
Join us Sunday, Sept. 6, for the Second Annual Jump Right In and Run!
Stay tuned for more details on this year's event!

Share your story
Every athlete - no matter what level - has a story to tell! Storm Lake Running Club is looking for runners to share their tale. Perhaps you've just completed your first - or 20th - marathon. Maybe you're running the Jump Right In half-marathon for a special cause. Whatever your story, we want to share it and inspire others!
Contact us and we'll help you tell your story.
It's about courage
Congratulations to Sally Anderson who completed the Des Moines Marathon 2008 Half-Marathon Race on Oct. 19. Sally, who has multiple sclerosis, carried a sign reading "Cure MS" along the course. With the help of friends, Sally walked across the finish line to complete the half-marathon. Congrats, Sally!
It's about happiness
"Since I started running at the first running club meeting in April (15 minutes and near cardiac arrest!) I've worked up to where I am today which is running 30-35 minutes 6-7 times a week. I've also gone from forcing myself to do it and having a very high heart rate and breathing rate to being very comfortable and feeling "in the groove" on most of my runs. I even got new running shoes this week! I don't see any marathons in my future, but I feel great and feel like I'm finally getting back to my pre-baby place. I've also felt inspired to really change my diet and I feel like a general happier person every day! I saw on your website that you wanted people to email in their stories and that is mine! So thank you for randomly mentioning the running club back in April!"
