First Meeting and First Run!

Welcome to the Farmington Valley YMCA's Running Club!

We had a productive first meeting last Monday, setting plans for regular runs and follow-up meetings.

Mark your calendar for next Tuesday, April 10th for a run through McLean Game Refuge. Anyone interested in running with our Runner’s club should be at the Salmon Brook entrance to McLean Game Refuge at 6 pm sharp!

A few of the runners are very familiar with McLean and have assured us that they know the trails. Steve Worthington will also be able to provide a few maps of McLean trails (just in case).

The run is open to all levels of runners, but it is recommended that you be able to complete at least 3 miles. The group runs are met to provide a fun venue for runners to get together to improve their running skills.

On Tuesday, the group will split into smaller groups based upon experience, speed, and length of run desired. We’re looking for group leaders to help out with this part! Small groups will head out into the trails at 6 pm sharp. Mark Hixson has generously agreed to facilitate the organization of this first run.
