8 Miles or Pick Your Distance

Roaming Water Station and Transportation
We will have the roaming water station this week. We will also provide transportation back to the start location for any runner not running the full 8 mile loop.

Example-I want to run 5 miles. What should I do? The course is an 8 mile loop. You'll run the 5 miles out with the group. Once you get to the 5 mile mark you STOP. Coach Momma C will pick you up at the 5 mile mark and take you back to the start location. The same applies for any distance under 8 miles. This ensures you don't run any portion of the course alone, you don't get lost, and you get to stay part of a group longer. Just memorize the road you need to stop at...stop at that road...get a ride.
