Hello fellow club members and welcome to something new!<\/p>\n

We initiated this race series to have more “club” events and to help new members go to more races.<\/p>\n

When you first start running, the idea of driving 50 miles or more than an hour to run a 5K can seem crazy. Well, it is crazy and especially if you drive by your self. I’ve done it many times!<\/p>\n

We encourage all club members to sign up for these races. We also encourage people to car pool. Going to a race is a great way to get to know someone.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry about how fast you are<\/strong> or that you’ve never run a 5K or a half marathon. You’ll be travelling with experts who will support and help you out.<\/p>\n

Just think how great it will feel to cross the finish line and see all of those purple shirts cheering you on!<\/p>\n
