When the sun goes down and the 39-degree weather sets in, most people are getting into their most comfortable clothes and staying inside for the night - except for these runners. Every Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the track next to the Elma Roane Field house at the University of Memphis, around 40 runners meet with coaches to improve their speed and endurance.  The runners range from novice to advanced. The event is promoted by Breakaway Running and has been going on for more than 30 years. Most importantly, it’s free and everyone is welcome. Here is a look at some of the runners.
