REGULAR RUNS REMINDERS
Share the sidewalk! Try to run in single file and be mindful of pedestrians/pets.
Do not run in the bike lane
In severe weather, we will do our best to monitor and cancel runs if necessary. RSVP on Meetup so you get the cancelation notice and we'll announce on social media at least 1hr before the run.
LONG RUNS
We appreciate those who are leading long runs for our marathon race runners. Just a reminder to always check the weather and do not forget to hydrate! If you are planning to do more, please have it posted in our Whatsapp group, Facebook or make us aware so we can announce it!
Love,
Sandy
