WNR at the Ballpark: July 10, 2024

On July 10th, the club will have a normal Wednesday Night Run that starts and ends near FirstEnergy Stadium. Our post-run gathering will be at the ballgame. The club is NOT purchasing or organizing tickets for this. We can gather and socialize out on the left-field deck.

We are starting this WNR a little early at 6pm sharp. The game starts at 7 p.m. (Akron vs. Reading). Fireworks are planned for that night.

The run will start from the parking lot on the SW corner of Front & Exeter Streets. It is labeled as CarTech lot#10. It is NOT the lot across from Mike’s Tavern.

The longer route is 6 miles out-and-back along Front Street and the SRT to RACC.

The shorter route is a 3 mile loop outside the perimeter of Charles Evans Cemetery.

If the game is rained out, we’ll try this again on July 31.

Wednesday Night Runs (July ’24 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 each route. 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!)
