May 2018 - Club News Briefs

Hello SRRC Members! We think spring may FINALLY be here! With that, you are going to see more and more members out and about. May also means Abe's Army is starting THIS MONTH! We are so excited! COME RUN WITH US!

Take a look at all the things going on with SRRC this month:

Deadline to guarantee your Abe's Army training shirt is May 1st!! Abe's Army registration is open and going strong! If you would like to join this FUN training group leading into Abe's Army 10K in August, register now! www.srrc.net/abesarmy
The spring Foottrails newsletter has gone out! If you have opted out of the snail mail version, the newsletter has been posted online: www.srrc.net/newsletter
The rotational Saturday morning group run schedule has been posted to the website for 2018. The runs are self-starting and you pick your own pace and distance. There's usually a good number of runners (and walkers) that if you want to join up with someone running your pace, you can usually find someone. But if you prefer to run alone, it's still good to run on the trails with other runners nearby. There's safety in numbers! All are welcome! Come introduce yourself! The trail schedule can be found here: www.srrc.net/group-runs
Wednesday night speed workouts are underway starting at 5:45 p.m. through October. Check the website weekly for information on the workout and location (Washington Park or SHG track). Do not feel like you have to be fast to do speed work. "Speed" is completely relative to YOU and your abilities! www.srrc.net/speedwork
Women's Distance Festival registration is now open! Deadline to register before the price increase is May 29th! www.womensdistance.com
