Week 12 of Training
IT'S RUN COLUMBUS RUN WEEK! Here's what to know:
📌 THIS SATURDAY: Run Columbus Run @ The Hills Market!
Run Columbus Run is back! This FREE, fully-supported group run is perfectly timed for the hearty souls who have been logging the miles all summer long in preparation for the Columbus Half & Full Marathon or other fall races.
Run Columbus Run is hosted by MIT, but is open to ALL Columbus run clubs and communities! This is an opportunity for us to RUN TOGETHER and celebrate the collective hard work that all walkers and runners in our community have put into this season.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
-
Larger crowds than usual. We highly encourage MIT members and Coaches to carpool and ARRIVE EARLY! Please plan to carpool from either Worthington Hills Elementary, the Tennis Courts, or Mt. Frontrunner! Those who carpool will be rewarded with Fleet Feet Vouchers.
-
Long bathroom lines. Arrive early to use the restroom --- or drink your coffee early so you can take care of your business at home before the workout. ;)
-
New/less experienced runners and walkers. Run Columbus Run draws many newer athletes who have never run or walked in a pace group, never have covered that distance, or have been WINGING IT! This is our opportunity to show them the ropes of group training runs, trail etiquette, & safety. This is your opportunity to show up in friendship and mentorship to help a fellow runner/walker succeed!
-
A fun after-party. We have bagels, beer, coffee, music, and New Balance demos and giveaways! Fleet Feet will also have a pop-up shop! Bring an extra pair of clothes to change into after!
