Summer School

Summer School

June 23 to August 31

Some of us need a little remedial work. No worries, Summer School is about to be in session! From June 23 to August 31, we’re offering five independent study workouts to improve your performance for the fall race semester. This is not a live virtual race series with set competition times. Summer School is entirely independent, allowing students to determine their workout sessions according to their individual schedules.

There are only 12 spots available on the bus! Registration will open on June 23 at 8 am CDT, so don’t hesitate to get your seat!

Registration Fee $48

Entry fees are the same for US and International racers and include shipping and handling.
