Jaime's Pub Run Series
Merrimack Valley Striders announces:
Jaime's Pub Summer Run Series
Where?
When?
Thursday evenings, from June 16th to September 1st at 6:30 PM
Who?
Runners and “walk to runners” interested in combining fitness and fun.
MVS is excited to announce its partnership with Jaime’s Restaurant to host a Pub Run Summer Series. The purpose of these runs is first, and foremost, to encourage and enhance running at all levels – yes, that is the MVS mission statement. The second objective is to have some fun!
We have designed a 5K course with an optional 1.9 mile course for “walk to run” folks. The course is primarily on quite neighborhood streets with a minimum of traffic. But remember, this is not a race with closed streets and course monitors. For a downtown course, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how scenic it is while keeping hills to a minimum (NOT eliminated, though).
Is this a competitive event? Just as running is for most of us, this Pub Run is as competitive as you’d like it to be. Participation is the key ingredient. Times will be recorded only if you time yourself – we encourage it, but it’s totally optional. Stick around afterwards for fine food and libations.
There will be prizes and surprises each week, and special awards at the end of the series. Come to five of the twelve and you’ll get a tee shirt; come to ten and you’ll also get a commemorative beer mug or wine glass. Come to all twelve....well, we’ll think of something!
Occasional updates and additional information will be posted on the MVS website and the MVS Facebook page.
Hope to see you on Thursday!!
