Many members train for specific goals or events with the Sat Walk & Run Groups. From time to time, we offer additional training opportunities. New for fall 2024, we are adding an opportunity for a run or walk on Tuesday evenings (except for First Tuesday meeting nights). Women of all ages and abilities are welcome. Go your own pace and as far as you would like. We will meet at Meadowbrook Park near the clubhouse at 6:00pm in June.
