Walking Club
On Monday, May 20th, 2024 we had our first outing with the new walking club. We're looking forward to the word spreading throughout the community about our new walking initiative along the New York Central Fitness Trail.
Starting June 5th, we are adding a Wednesday at 10:00 AM walk (in addition to our Monday Evening). This is for those who prefer getting out earlier in the day and at a more leisurely pace.
Click here for meeting location details and to register for the club. We'll see you on the trail.
Did Someone Say Beer Mile?
Are you looking for something a little different? How about a beer mile?
This new event, taking place at the Summer Spirits Festival in Rockland, is perfect for those runners who enjoy beer.
Drink a beer, run/walk/jog (or crawl) around a 1/4 mile track and then repeat, 3 more times!
There is a non-alcoholic option, for those who would rather not drink beer. Or perhaps you would prefer to share those laps and beers with others by entering the team relay.
Choose to participate or at least come and watch what is sure to be a fun event.
 Prescott-Russell Trail Relay
If you and your running friends and family would rather do a little more running and less beer drinking, you won't want to miss the 72 km relay race the Russell Run Club is planning for Saturday, October 5th, 2024.
We have our eye on bringing an ultra event to the community. This simple, no-frills event is our opportunity to test the trail's potential. The event will start in St. Eugene and follow the beautiful Prescott-Russell Recreational Trail toward Hammond with varying lengths of each leg to accommodate all running abilities.
Now is the time to save the date and start thinking about who you like to have on your team of 2 to 6 people.
Russell Run
Registration for the 13th Annual Russell Run is officially open.
The Russell Run has something for everyone: a 10km, a 5km run/walk and a 1.2 km kids fun run. For those up to the challenge, this event is becoming known for its one-of-a-kind, hand-made pottery mugs for our top three male and female finishers.
Register before September 4th, 2024 so you don't miss out on the early bird special. We also offer a $5 discount for Russell Run Club members (no discount code required).
