This week June 24 Wed night run.
We will run Greens Creek Trail this Wed. night, and it is a food night run. Please bring something edible to share. Exerflex carpool at 5:15 pm, or let us know and we can meet you on the way there. (parking is very limited at trailhead, so lets try to not have everyone drive their own car all the way there)
A couple weeks ago we had 18 runners come on Wednesday night.
