August 7th Run - Meet and Greet

Our first run of the fall season is Saturday, August 7th at 6:00 a.m.

We will meet at Johnny's Tavern at 83rd and Mission. Please arrive 15 min. before start time for check in and announcements. The route will be set for up to 18 miles - out and back as always - you go as far as you need to for your training.

Meet and Greet - your mission on this run is to make a new friend. Come back to home base with a name and at least one morsel of information about your newest buddy!
