Hold on tight. The Cool Cruel Summer starts Thursday and we want YOU to be in the KNOW! What is the Cool Cruel Summer? The Cool Cruel Summer runs throughout the summer on the third Thursday of each month. It’s a fun twist on a normal evening at Roots. The coaches organize waves of athletes to start the workout but there is not a formal class start time.
