Like many runners, I felt the need to do something after the tragic events at the Boston Marathon on Monday. I wore a race tee on Tuesday and ran some miles with my running partner who has run Boston twice. But it was the call from fellow runner and blogger, Brian @PavementRunner, that spurred me to action.
So, if you are in my area, I am inviting you to join me for a group run to honor the victims.
Here are the details:
Location: Meet at Barnard Park -> Run Goffstown Rail Trail
Date: Monday, April 22, 2013
Time: 6PM
Distance: 3 - 4 miles
Facebook Event Page: RSVP here
Wear a race shirt, or Boston Marathon colors (blue & yellow). Bring a friend.
If you can't join us, consider organizing your own group run or joining one near you.
We might run with heavy hearts, but we won't stop running.
Hi Amy! I am doing this run too. I found out about it through my meetup group. Small world.

ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Would so be there if I lived nearby!
ReplyDeleteWish I was closer! Monday evenings are tough for my schedule so I'm doing a very large group run with Runner's Alley tomorrow morning. I'm loving all the tribute runs!

ReplyDeleteHow did it go yesterday? *high five* for being proactive and supporting our fellow runners the best way we can.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job organizing the run. I am excited to be a part of the OKC Memorial Marathon (I'm running the half) this Sunday. I will be wearing red socks for Boston and running for those who can't and those who didn't finish their race.
ReplyDeleteI love how choosing a color is such a powerful way to show support. Have a great race!
ReplyDeleteIt was a success! The running community is just amazing.
