No organized group run October 20th

Due to the running of the KC marathon, there will be no organized group run on October 20th. We encourage you to head out and support the running community at the KC marathon either by volunteering at an aid station (choose station #15, first shift to help out our friends at Metro Walk and Run) or cheering on all the runners, particularly our PB friends! There are over 15 of them running either the half or the full. Click here for details on pre-race group picture, runner tracking and cheering spots.

If you have a long run on your training schedule we recommend meeting with your running partners early Saturday before the marathon or better yet swapping your Sat/Sun schedule and running long on Sunday. Please contact coach Amy if you need help with your training schedule.
