    ___________________________

     

     

     

    Running by yourself is fun sometimes, but running with a group of friends can really keep you motivated and help make the miles float by.

    The MVS hosted runs are a great way to run with your old friends and meet new running partners as well.  Hosted by member volunteers, a course is laid out ranging from just a few miles to distances that will get you ready for that target marathon you've decided to run.

    The miles are marked, aid on the course is available, and light refreshments await you when you return.  Each runner is asked to bring a "little something" to donate to the refreshment table.

    Would you like to host a run? 

    Hosting is a blast.  The responsibility of a host is to open his/her home as a gathering spot, lay out a safe course (usually out and back), put out water on the course, and provide coffee at the finish.

    MVS provides mile markers and safety cones, the host provides the venue, and the members provide the fun! As a special incentive, any member who hosts a run will get a paid entry to one of the MVS series of races!

    Call Rob Prunier to book the weekend that works for you.
