Meet at The Nosh, for a 5:30AM run. Map to print.
Note: As we swing into vacation season over the next few months we’ll be keeping the run schedule informal. Unless posted otherwise; most likely we’ll be running from the Nosh around sunup. Beginning in mid-July we’ll start gearing up for the Fall marathon season and resume scheduling runs around the Valley. Any questions please let me know.
