Train Locally, Race Locally

Whether we are training in the early morning at the track at Harmon Field, gathering at Lake Lanier for a challenging loop run or bonding during our long runs down River Road we are taking in all the beautiful local scenery. If you haven't been to any of our weekly group runs you are missing out! We have runners of all ages, paces and abilities who come out to enjoy our community while encouraging and supporting each other. 

Now our club is expanding even more. We have several race directors in our club promoting their own home-grown races for local causes. 

The next race coming up is our very own Jingle Bell Jog in Landrum, SC. The entry fee is a canned good that will be donated to a local food bank. Come decked out in your holiday running gear on Saturday, December 17th at 8:00am. Meet at 156 North Trade Ave (The Mailroom) Landrum, SC.

We have lots of races coming up in 2012. Please check our race calendar below for more details and check back here closer to the race date for all the specifics.

Some of the causes we these races are supporting are:

• Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce
• Pacolet Area Conservancy
• Go Girls
• Foothills Humane Society
• St. Luke's Hospital Foundation
• Tuesday School
• ALS Foundation
• The Shepard's Feast
• Boy Scouts

Running local races is a great way to stay in shape and help support the community!

Saturday Run at Lake Lanier

Hope you can join us for another run around Lake Lanier. Keep in mind point to point around the lake (like when we start at the Tea House) is 4.8 miles. To get the whole 4.97 or certified 8K, you have to add a wee bit more. The actual start of ACHE AROUND THE LAKE is on Butter Street and the course goes COUNTER-CLOCKWISE around the lake.

There will be three (3) water stops on the course for race day.

I will bring registration forms and flyers with me on Saturday morning. Be sure to sign up early so you can receive a $5 discount and receive a race T-shirt and logo'ed water bottle.

See you Saturday at 7:30 a.m. at the Tea House Restaurant. Thank you, Patty Otto, for letting us park there and supporting our race!
