Description
TCTC's Winter Seminar is an annual event that features a keynote runner-focused speaker in a social setting. The event has been held every year since 1988 and has featured such notables as: Keira D'Amato, Des Linden, Dave McGillivray, Bill Rodgers, Zola Budd, Bart Yasso, and Jeff Galloway, to name a few.
TCTC Winter Seminar weekend will kick off with a dynamic lineup of events starting on Saturday morning, including a meet & greet, community fun run & walk (1M, 5K, 7M options), CrossFit, and refreshments. Proceeds from the run will benefit Western NC Relief efforts from Hurricane Helene! The excitement continues on Saturday evening with a book sale and signing session, followed by an empowering speech and Q & A session with our guest speaker.
On Sunday, we'll wrap up the weekend with a rejuvenating free yoga session. We've jam-packed this weekend with events designed to inspire and encourage active engagement from our community!
GUEST SPEAKER: Mirna Valerio
A former teacher and cross-country running coach, Mirna Valerio has challenged the traditional perception of a runner. With 14 ultramarathons under her belt, she's earned the respect of her fellow runners, who know her as "the Mirnavator" on social media. Valerio is known for her high-energy personality and unwavering dedication to running and community outreach.
As an acclaimed author, speaker, anti-racism activist, and consultant, she has dedicated her life to promoting inclusivity, accessibility, and diversity in outdoor activities. Her influence is widespread and she works with several well-known brands to continue to connect her passion for life with the communities she serves.
As a lululemon Global Ambassador she has worked on several projects to elevate the fitness community and to help push past barriers. The New York Times named her one of “Five People Who Can Help You Love Your Body”and The Wall Street Journal recognized her as a "voice for a whole class of athletes."
Signed copies of A Beautiful Work in Progress by Mirna Valerio are available ONLY to attendees of the Talk. You may purchase a copy during the online registration process. Unsold copies will be available at a later date in the TCTC store on RunSignUp (may not be signed).
