This Month’s Weekend 10-Miler: 2/22/25 on the Horse-Shoe Trail

The next Weekend 10-Miler will take place on Saturday, February 22nd, at 9:30 a.m.

We will meet at Charlie Crowell’s house (151 Allegheneyville Rd, Mohnton) and run an out-and-back on the Horse-Shoe Trail.

Post-run lunch at Stampede BBQ!

Since this is an out-and-back on a well-marked trail, it’s easy to cut it short or extend it longer!

Hope you can join us!

Wednesday Night Runs (February ’25 Locations)

Our mid-week group runs have at least two different distance options (3-4 miles and 5-6 miles) with an appointed leader for at least one of the two routes. Each run will have its own Facebook “event,” and the routes will be posted a couple days before the run. After each run, those who can will stick around for food, drink, and good conversation, either at a nearby restaurant or a club member’s residence. Come for the run; stay (if you can) for the fellowship. (If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries–just come run with us!)

All runs start at 6:15 p.m.

Remember to bring a headlamp or flashlight and to wear reflective gear!
