What. A. Week. ⠀ The first inaugural Bowerman Running Camp #inBend was an absolute blast. We had a great roster of speakers and counselors, including college athletes and coaches from around the country, our own elite and pro athletes, as well as the man, the myth, the legend, Coach Jerry Schumacher. The facilities at OSU-Cascades were fantastic, Bend was beautiful as always, and we got great support from the local community. Most importantly, we had a wonderful group of campers who came from all over the world (as far away as Australia!) ready to work, learn, and have fun! ⠀ We’ll always be looking for ways to improve the experience- including making it more accessible to more kids- but we feel like we have a great base to build on in the years to come. ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BTCamp #SummerCamp #XCtraining #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running #OneClap #TwoClaps #VisitLikeALocal
#BTCamp is well and truly underway #inBend. It’s been an awesome few days with great trails, hotly contested games, cooking lessons with Shalane Flanagan, and a river float. We’re very lucky to have an awesome group of college runners as well as several of our BTC pros as counselors. The elusive, mythical Coach Jerry Schumacher has even made an appearance! This is the first year of our camp but we think it’s going to be the start of a great tradition. ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #TheYouth #Camp #summerSZN #XC #XCtraining #RunFastEatSlow @shalaneflanagan @emilyinfeld @gwenjorgensen @abumbalough @cderrickrun
Great action at the Azusa Sunset Meet on Tuesday Night! Headlining was the Women’s 5K which was a wonderful demonstration of the power of a team. Courtney and Shelby doubled back from their races to pace the race all the way up to three laps to go. From there Karissa took over and lead the trio of her, Marielle, and Vanessa to a 1-2-3 finish and three new personal bests! ⠀ In the Men’s 5K, some confusion in the pacing duties prevented a World Championship Standard time from developing, but the BTC boys competed extremely well. Lopez won the race convincingly over the final 400 meters in 13:25. Woody kicked like a demon to nip Grant at the line and take third. ⠀ Kate and Shelby looked great in the Women’s 800, with Kate taking the win and Shelby coming second with her first sub-2 clocking! No one can tell her to change her IG handle now. Both of them are looking sharp and fit ahead of USAs. ⠀ But it goes on! Courtney won her heat of the 1500m in a three second personal best of 4:11. Colleen was second in her’s in 4:07. Josh ran a really solid 3:38 and Centro ran 1:46, his fastest 800 in four years! ⠀ The crew is looking fit and ready for USAs in two weeks. That’s very exciting, but we were even more excited to see there reaction of our #BTCamp kids to watching the races on the big projector screen. The strength of the sport is in its communities and its fans and we love to see new ones blossom among #TheYouth. ⠀ 📸: @chuckutash . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #BowermanBabes #SunsetTour #Track #TrackAndField #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running

After a great weekend of racing, gotta get back at it in the ⛰ ⛰⛰ to bring you more of the same. ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBabes #AltitudeCamp #Training #Track #TrackAndField #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running
PRE-cap, part 5: Men’s Two Mile ⠀ The Men’s two mile was yet another race that saw an early split in the pack. Moh got caught on the wrong side of the break and had to step into the breach to keep the group going. After the elation of breaking 13 minutes 10 days ago, he might have sat back on his laurels and decided it just wasn’t his day. Instead he drove the train home and held off all challenges to take 4th in 8:15. It won’t be the highlight of his year, but it’s great to see him scrapping for every place. You never know when that’ll be the line between good and great. ⠀ Moh will now get set to try to and win his 4th consecutive 🇨🇦 title at 5,000m ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #PreClassic #DiamondLeague #Track #TrackAndField #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running #TeamCanada
PRE-cap, part 4: Women’s 3,000m ⠀ Racing at the World level can be vicious. Karissa stepped into the deep end on Sunday, making her Diamond League debut in what would end up as one of the greatest 3,000m races of all time. After going out hard in around 4:32 for 1600m, she had to hold things together by herself. ⠀ She managed beautifully. ⠀ 8:42 is her new lifetime best and a great sign for her upcoming 5,000m race at USAs in three weeks! We’re looking forward to seeing Karissa get more and more comfortable in these high level meets and finish higher and higher. ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBabes #PreClassic #DiamondLeague #Track #TrackAndField #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running
PRE-cap, part 3: Women’s Steeplechase ⠀ Things got rowdy early in the women’s steeple. Beatrice Jepkoech set off on world record pace and left the pack splintered behind her. Courtney and Colleen had to stay calm, find their own pace, and get to work. With Courtney leading the way they methodically moved up through the field. Courtney came home in 9:09 to take 5th and Colleen ran 9:11 for 7th. Those are great times for their first steeples of the year and they are set up really well to make a deep run into championship season! Racing schedule between now and USAs is still up the air, but in the meantime they will return to the thin air of Park City. ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBabes #PreClassic #DiamondLeague #Track #TrackAndField #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running #SteeplePeople
PRE-cap, part 2: Men’s Mile ⠀ The Bowerman Mile was Centro’s first track race in 11 months and his long awaited debut in the Bowerman kit (it looks pretty good on him, eh?). He sat at the back the first two laps and, like the savvy vet he is, moved up with the pace slowed on the third lap. At the bell, he showed he’s still got that great kick, as he closed in 55 seconds and moved up to finish in 6th. 3:52 and a tidy World Championship standard isn’t bad for a “rust buster”... ⠀ Now that the standard is taken care of, the plan is to run an 800m at Azusa Pacific to get ready for USAs. ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #PreClassic #DiamondLeague #Track #TrackAndField #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running #1500m
PRE-cap, part 1: Women’s 1500m ⠀ It was nearly a redux of Shelby’s breakout @preclassic win from last year, on Sunday. Her and Kate hung back early and had to work hard to move up when the pack began to split with 6 to go. Shelby was in 6th at the bell and began to charge hard in the last 200m. She raised the hopes of the announcers and the BTC crowd at home, but Faith Kipyegon and Laura Muir were able to hold her off. Still, 3:59 isn’t a bad outdoor opener 👀. Behind her, Kate battle really well through the field and came through with a new PR of 4:02! It’s been a long time coming for Kate to lower that mark and we have a feeling this may open the floodgates for the rest of her season... ⠀ Next up, Kate will run an 800m race at Azusa Pacific on July 9th. Then it’s on to USAs in the 1500m. Shelby will be back up in Park City until the Championships. ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBabes #PreClassic #DiamondLeague #Track #TrackAndField #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running #1500m
PRE-Preview: ⠀ The hottest meet in the US this side of USAs is here! Much of our Pro team has been at altitude camp in Park City, ramping up the training intensity as we get into the meat of the track season. The @preclassic this Sunday will be the first major test of all that new fitness. Courtney and Colleen will be racing their first steeples of the season. Shelby is opening her outdoor campaign and defending her title. And one Matthew Centrowitz will be making his BTC debut! ⠀ Full roster of BTC races below. All races are live on NBC (1pm-3pm PT). If you’re in the Portland area, @pdxtrack has gotten the Spirit of 77 to put the meet up on their big TVs with surround sound. Let’s pack the place with track fans! Maybe get some B-T-C chants going... ⠀ 1:11pm: Women’s Steeple- Courtney and Colleen ⠀ 1:34pm: Men’s Two Mile- Moh ⠀ 2:05pm: Women’s 3,000m- Karissa ⠀ 2:31pm: Women’s 1,500m- Shelby and Kate ⠀ 2:51pm: Men’s Bowerman Mile- Centro ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #BowermanBabes #PreClassic #DiamondLeague #Track #TrackAndField #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running @steeple_squigs @courtneyfrerichs @moh_speed23 @karissaschweiz4 @shelbo800 @fastkate @mgcentro
When you see the start list for the @preclassic 2 mile... ⠀ Hot off his 12:58, Moh is running in an awesome Prefontaine Classic on Sunday. But before that, he’ll be making an appearance on Tracklandia, to talk about why he’s nicknamed “Scoop”, his feelings on Kawhi’s free agency, and much more. If you’re in Portland come to the live taping tomorrow night (details on the @pdxtrack page). Otherwise be sure to check out the episode when it drops. ⠀ And don’t forget to watch the races on Sunday! ⠀ 📸: @rjmcnichols4 . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #PreClassic #DiamondLeague #Tracklandia #Track #TrackAndField #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running

We’re very excited to welcome Stanford standout Grant Fisher to the team! Grant was the 2017 NCAA Champion at 5,000m, was a 12-time All-American, and is one of just 10 high schoolers in history to run sub-4 in the mile! He’ll re-unite with fellow Cardinal and NCAA Champion, Sean Mcgorty. We’re very happy about that because it means Sean must be saying nice things about us 😉. . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #FreshFish #NikeRunning #TeamNike @stanfordxctf

What a wonderful evening, with a wonderful community, to celebrate a wonderful person! Yesterday was a powerful demonstration of how one person’s life can positively affect so many other lives, even those she never met. ⠀ Thank you to everyone in Portland who came out. Thank you, Gabe. #BraveLikeGabe ⠀ 📸: @jordan.beckett
We lost one of the best people in our, or any, sport last night, with the passing of Gabe Grunewald. Throughout her 10 year battle with cancer, Gabe was a fountain of joy, friendship, hope, laughter, and inspiration. The harsh reality she faced did not dim her spirit, but seemed to ignite her love of life. All of us here at BTC were inspired by Gabe and those who met her feel privileged to have done so. On Friday, Portland’s many running clubs will be gathering at 6:30pm at Duniway Track. We’ll run 5k in memorial of Gabe and do our best to honor the values she exemplified: the community and joy of running. If you’re in the area, come out and celebrate a true hero. We encourage all those who might be able to donate to the #BraveLikeGabe Foundation to support rare cancer research.
