Where: Tuesday classes meet at the Edina Community Center for the first few sessions and later move on to other locations depending on the the training schedule and planned workout. Saturday runs are often from the Lakes but do get around to other locations i.e. River Road, Fort Snelling, Summit, Hyland.
