Group Run Update
Get Info on all our Group Runs
The Saturday Run at Holmdel Park is gaining traction with over 24 participants this past Saturday - the group meets at 9:45 AM. The Sunday Run as usual is our largest run and it is also picking up despite the cold weather - probably because our course is pretty much protected from those wintery winds. Marathon training is now started and it is not too late to get in on the fun of a 20 mile run - but you can run shorter distance of about 6 miles as well.. The Thursday Run is continuing to get a good turnout and remember whenever it is below freezing we get free hot chocolate at Dunkin Donuts. The Tuesday run has a good steady group and things are picking up there as well.
Come on out to a group run - its a great way to stay motivated through the winter. All paces are represented.
