One of the great things about using running / walking as a fitness goal is some of the cool things that you can do. Like... spending sometime hiking / running in the woods with a map and compass. Many of us attend events put on by the Miami Valley Orienteering Club.
So if you are wanting to do a little crossing training...

Celebrate the new year with a five mile run at Bill Yeck park Sunday, January 1, 2012 at noon. Meet in the parking lot at 2230 E. Centerville Station Rd. Dayton, OH 45459. If you can't make the run, some of us will be going to Panera Bread on Wilmington Pike around 1 p.m. Hope to see you!
Dave and Stacy are looking for 4 non runners for the Dirt Dawg 8 Miler (in Centerville) race on January 14. Plus a few running volunteers.
If you are able to help out please email Stacy at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or we may just ask you not to run on race day.
Also, we are streamlining the Grand Prix Series that promotes running AND volunteerism. In summary: Sign up, run 6 races, volunteer 4 times and win against your peers.
As a secondary bonus, all members that complete the series will be invited to the 2013 Volunteer Holiday Party. Check this link to see all the details.
We are always looking to give back to the membership. So for the 2012 season we are going to remove all race fees for our classic $3 races for our members. Dirt Dawg 8 free? Yes! Frostbite 5 free? Yes! Â
Be sure to bring your membership card to take advantage of this benefit or pay the non-member rate of $9!
