January 9, 2021

Here we are in the second weekend of January, and it looks like lots of the things we hoped to escape from 2020 followed us into the New Year, and then even worse happened.  Hope everyone found their love for hills last weekend, and made the best of them.  Remember, hills are a runners friend!

This weekend, it's back to Run Walk 812 meeting across from Yoga 101, park across the street or not in their parking lot, and meet by Manna at 7 am.  Shari will have 4, 6.5, 7, 8 and 9 mile routes.  If anyone is looking for longer, Start at the Y downtown, and it's about 7 more miles out and back, so time it accordingly.  The Loop Group will start their loops from the downtown Y at 7 am.

Local races are still up in the air, so check the websites below to see when one is available, or virtual races.

January 2, 2021

Well, 2021 is here this weekend, and everyone is hoping for a much more safe and less hectic new year.  Happy New Year to everyone!

Last weekend, we met up with everyone at Wesselmans, and it was good to see everyone brave the cold!

This weekend Run Walk 812 will meet at Howell Park off of Barker, on the West side, at 7 am.  For any of the BOR group and anyone else needing more miles, we can meet at the downtown Y at 6:20  am.   Shari will have a 4, 6, and 8 mile route for those starting at Howell.  The Loop Group will start at the Shirley James Memorial off of Fulton near Ohio street at 7 am.

Be sure to look at you and your running friends from throughout the year, below!

Not for sure, but I believe there is a Day 1 Run at Garvin Park for Friday at 9 am.  For all inquiries, check the sites below for all race information.
