Twin Cities trail running club and coaching community

Why run with Missing Link?

Workouts are better with accountability, long runs are better with company, and the best trail stories come from the days that felt too hard to tackle alone.

Push past your limits

Type 2 fun feels better with company. Our crew celebrates breakthroughs, swaps trail stories, and is always ready to share the next adventure.

Sure, you can stay on pavement, but the best views usually require a little mud, some roots, and whatever else Mother Nature throws our way.

Running with Missing Link has helped me rediscover running after years of the same routine. I'm always learning new things and setting new goals. It's so fun to hang out with people who love running as much as I do.

I thought ultras were crazy, until I was surrounded by a group who ran them. Now I've run several with Bitner's encouragement, including my first 100k at Afton State Park when all races were canceled in 2020.

Missing Link is the highlight of my week. I moved to Minnesota and knew nobody, and in less than a year had a gaggle of friends, a coach, and a trail community that showed me I could run ultramarathons.

I like to run with weird people.
