FUN RUNS, TRAINING RUNS
SATURDAY SUMMER TRAINING RUNS
Come join our weekly Saturday morning training runs at 7:00 am, starting and finishing at the Telulah Park pavilion. These runs are intended to help us get ready for the Fox Cities Full or Half Marathon in late September. Mile distances and routes change week to week, generally increasing throughout the summer, then tapering down the last weeks before. For more info look on our website, under the RunWithUs heading. Maps for every week are shown there, with water/Gatorade station locations, and will also be displayed at the start of these runs, where you can also download it on the RunGo app. Our next training run will be August 2nd, and will test our endurance. The shorter run will be 10.7 miles and longer will be 19.8 miles, as we approach our max training distances. Of course you can review the routes in advance and customize the distance to fit your needs.
FUN RUNS
Our Fun Runs are just that ... fun! Every second Wednesday of the month during spring, summer and fall we meet somewhere different at 6:00 pm. There are generally 2 options available, approximately a 5k or 10k distance. And then we run. Or walk. Then we enjoy food, drink and friendly conversation.
- August 13 - Telulah Park, featuring chicken and mashed potatoes
- September 10 - Jefferson Park, with a chili dump ... bring your own chili to add
- October 8 - Harley Davidson, halloween costume themed, featuring sloppy joes and hot chocolate

We are very appreciative of our volunteers who have helped us out at our events. If you are interested in helping in any capacity, it's a great way to give back to our running community.

Just For Laughs
My boss wanted me to sign up for a 401k but I declined. There is no way I'm running that far!
Oldest Fastest Woman
Last month in Tonbridge, England, Clare Elms, at age 61, became the oldest woman to break 5 minutes in a 1500 meter distance. Her time of 4:59.11 translates to 5:21.6 per mile, or a blazing speed of 11.19 mph. Age is not keeping up with her!
