Great moments in running happen every day. As ordinary runners we experience great runs, have personal triumphs in races, and achieve life-changing outcomes during our days, seasons, and years of running.

To recognize these great moments in running, we have added the Extraordinary Running AwardsTM. These awards consist of four special, distinct categories of running greatness that unfold for us as ordinary runners, our running friends, and in our running communities.

Each month Runners' Lounge will feature one story. The featured runner will receive a free pair of shoes compliments of OnlineShoes.com. Submit your story today for a chance to win a pair of shoes.

How to get your kids to start running - Bribery!   
I just dealt with this issue with my 14 yo daughter.  She hated to run.  The school one mile timed run would come up, and she would wail "Why me?  Why do they want to torture me?"  That changed this spring.  Two things I... Read More
