Running Together: Kids, Race Season, Wineglass & the Joy of Moving Forward

The Spring 2026 issue of Confluence Magazine is about running together — with kids, families, teammates, local race communities, and the version of ourselves that is trying to grow, return, improve, or simply keep moving. This issue highlights the joy of running with kids, the confidence-building power of youth running and cross country, the emotional journey from race day goosebumps to finish line accomplishment, and the many reasons local races matter.

Inside, readers will find stories and updates about family running, local race calendars, Wineglass Weekend, ASICS Week, Brooks running shoes, race day personality, and training advice for every season of running. Whether you are building a base, coming back from time away, chasing a PR, running for joy, seeking adventure, or maintaining fitness through a busy season of life, this issue reminds us that running is not just about performance. It is about connection, health, confidence, community, and creating memories that last.
