Group Runs Nov 29 – Dec 4

Our Group Runs make running more enjoyable. If you can’t make any other day, please make it on Saturday for the long run. Our focus events right now are the Snickers Marathon Bar Marathon and Half Marathon in Albany, GA on March 5th. Our mileage on Saturdays will correspond roughly to an 18-week training plan that culminates on the 5th of March.

Call the store, (706) 322-3552, or email if you have any questions. We try to match everyone up by ability and pace, and nobody ever runs alone on the Riverwalk.

Tuesday morning: 7:15 am, meet at Country’s on Broadway. 4-8 miles  on the Riverwalk.

Wednesday evening: 6:30 pm, meet at the start of the Fitness Trail at Cooper Creek Park. 2-8 miles.

Toys For Tots

We’re collecting for Toys For Tots this holiday season. We could argue that the most meaningful gift you give this season is the new, unwrapped toy you leave in our dropbox inside the store.

2010 “Run For The Stuffing” Half Marathon

The Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday running group got together on Thanksgiving morning to donate toys & run a half marathon on the Columbus Riverwalk,  and we had a great time. Logos Screen Printing donated some great t-shirts (they print the Countrys Midnight Express shirts we all love), one of the runners made some terrific hand-made finisher’s medals… one runner provided race support food & liquids… and everyone had a great time.

Plus, we were able to get  a good start on our Toys For Tots collection!

We recommend running groups & walking groups as a way to stay motivated, have fun and connect with others while you accomplish your running or walking goals. There are several running groups, cycling groups, and triathlon groups in the Columbus / Fort Benning community. Call (706) 322-3552 or email if you’d like to get more information.
