    Thursday Track Day

    Bob Jones High School, 650 Hughes Rd, Madison
    See details

    Held at Bob Jones High School, this session centers on 1K repeats with a smooth build into the main work and options for every experience level. Plan to arrive a little early to jog some easy laps so the legs are ready to move. The group begins with a short pre-set of two to four rounds alternating 200 meters fast with 200 meters easy, a simple primer that wakes up the legs before the longer efforts. The main set is run at your current 5K effort, strong and steady rather than all-out, with the goal of keeping splits controlled from start to finish. Newer runners tackle three by 1K with three to four minutes of standing recovery, aiming for even pacing and a better feel for 5K rhythm. Intermediate athletes complete five by 1K with 90 seconds of standing rest, letting the short recovery add to the challenge while maintaining honest pace through all five. Advanced runners take on six by 1K with a 400 meter jog between reps at roughly 75 percent effort, keeping the float uncomfortable but manageable and expecting the last two repeats to demand focus.

    The Night Champion World Tour brings Koe Wetzel to the stage with Wyatt Flores, Bayker Blankenship, and Logan Jahnke. The Texas singer and songwriter is known for blending country, rock, hip hop, and 90s grunge, drawing a devoted following with a sound that crosses boundaries. His fifth album, 9 Lives, released on Columbia Records and certified Gold, landed on multiple year-end best-of lists from outlets like Rolling Stone, Billboard, and the Tennessean. The duet “High Road” with Jessie Murph earned a spot at No. 8 on the Los Angeles Times list of the top songs of 2024 across all genres, became his first single at Country radio, held the No. 1 position for five weeks, was the most-played song of 2025 according to Country Aircheck and Mediabase, and has since reached triple Platinum as his fastest track to achieve RIAA Platinum status. Earlier milestones include the 2016 album Noise Complaint with fan favorites such as the Gold-certified “Love” featuring Parker McCollum, the Platinum “Something to Talk About,” and the notorious “February 28, 2016.” His major label debut Sellout followed in 2020 with Platinum hits “Drunk Driving” and “Good Die Young,” plus the Gold-certified “Kuntry & Wistern.” In 2022, Hell Paso climbed to No. 3 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and delivered crossover success on country and rock with Gold singles “Creeps” and “Cabo.” With more than 4.2 billion streams to date, Wetzel’s concerts are known for wild, high-energy moments he describes as total chaos. Recent tours have included a headlining run that drew more than 250,000 fans, a stretch alongside HARDY on the Jim Bob World Tour, and select stadium dates with Morgan Wallen, setting the stage for another powerhouse night with this tour lineup.
