Upcoming runs and events
4 of 5 dentists agree that knowing the run is a helpful motivator to getting your butt
out of the chair. Picture the run. Be the run. Get off the couch and stop eating
potato chips and especially those slices of processed cheese. Now do you see

Note that routes may change for any number of reasons. We'll try to stick with the
route as written, and we certainly will stick with the general plan as intended.
