Honor our city’s Bicentennial year and our nation’s veterans with our first ever 5k trail run & ruck event.

“Rucking” is a military-inspired workout, involving a fast-paced walk carrying a weighted pack. The Ruck challenge will be completed as a group, with obstacles and challenges placed throughout the trail. The ruck will be led by local members of various branches of the military.

The run and ruck are for adults ages 18 yrs. and up, but there are family-friendly games and entertainment at RCA Community Park throughout the event. Bloomington-area veterans services will be on site to connect with military members and their families.

The first 50 registered participants are guaranteed a race T-shirt. Water and snacks for all runners and ruckers are provided. The registration fee includes the 5K Run, the 5K Ruck, or both. Indicate the events you will participate in when registering.

Next Class November 11
Once a month, our kids meditation class welcomes children and their parents to join a special class dedicated to meditation and cultivating positive qualities such as inner calm. The class will teach children practical methods for managing challenging situations at school, at home or at play by applying Buddhist ideas.
Each class includes a simple prayer, a brief meditation, a group teaching/story and playful activities such as arts/crafts, songs and games … and a concluding snack time.
Meditation for Kids is appropriate for children ages 4-11. We ask that parents please stay for the class and join-in for the learning and fun!
Everyone welcome! We have both floor cushions and chairs

Told in story, song, and quilt patches. A powerful and heartwarming frontier drama that explores the timeless complexity of women’s lives.

Arlo Guthrie, eldest son of America’s most beloved singer/writer/philosopher Woody Guthrie, is an artist of international stature. His career exploded in 1967 with the release of Alice’s Restaurant, whose title song helped to foster an entire generation’s commitment to social consciousness and activism. In 1992, Guthrie was able to purchase the old Trinity Church that helped to inspire the song. Now called The Guthrie Center, it houses a non-profit educational organization.

Mingling classically styled folk songs with clever storytelling is Guthrie’s trademark. In addition to broad accomplishments as a musician – playing the piano, six- and 12-string guitars, harmonica, and a dozen other instruments – Guthrie is a natural-born storyteller, a skill he loves to share with his fans.

In this performance, Guthrie will be supported by a small band and the performance will include clips and stories from the film Alice’s Restaurant, in addition to songs from the soundtrack.
