Routes for the weekend!


Runners,

We are meeting at Center Court at 8am this Saturday. It's supposed to be above zero this weekend, soooo.....dress for a heat wave? kidding....make sure to remember your layers again. Example: if you have a pair of running tights, wear them plus a layer of wind resistance pants over them. don't forget those face masks! If it's even a little windy, your face will feel it most.

See you Saturday!

First Group Run today--beware of the cold

Runners,

Today is scheduled to be the first group run at 8am at the YMCA. It is going to be a cold one. Use caution when coming out to run. If you are not accustomed to running in the cold, I would suggest finding a treadmill, or running indoors somewhere today. I will still be at the Y to greet any runners who do choose to come out, but safety is my first priority and I will be suggesting to runners that they stay indoors for the run today.

If I don't see you today, we will reconvene next week!

2011 Info session set for 1-16-11!

January Info Session scheduled for 1-16-11

Red River Runners-Grand Forks is gearing up for another year of fun running! On Sunday, January 16th, RRRGF will hold an info session to talk all about what's in store for running in 2011. We'll talk about the marathon and half marathon training class including an 18 week training schedule and monthly info sessions, and group runs offered for runners not specifically training for a marathon. This year, we're all about expanding our options. If you are running just to stay in shape, or to train for a marathon, RRRGF has what you're looking for.

Training Class: If you're thinking of running the Fargo marathon or half marathon, join the 18 week training class to help you get to the starting line! Runners meet every Saturday morning starting 1-22-11 and train together for this event. We have a number of "trainers" to help get you through. Our trainers are our group members who have run marathons in the past. They'll be available for tips, advice, and training partners. In addition, monthly info sessions are provided by local health professionals such as nutritionists, massage therapists, chiropractors, and more. An 18 week training schedule is provided in 6 week increments. This is the 4th year of the training class. Past participants have praised the group for helping them to get out of bed and get the training runs in even if the weather isn't perfect. The team atmosphere this group provides is a huge motivator for many runners, as well.

Group Runs: If you're training for your first 5k, or just want people to run with in the winter to keep you going, join us for group runs every Saturday morning. You don't have to be signed up for a marathon or half marathon to join in on the group runs. This year, we're offering the group runs to all levels of runners because we want to help keep you running all winter long!
