RRKC "Running with Distance" in January
/
We’ve heard your feedback: RRKC peeps are motivated by seeing friends out on our “Running with Distance” courses. We will continue our runs at a distance on Saturdays January 9th- January 30th (no run on Jan.2). Weather permitting, we will meet in Westport and Shawnee Mission North High School. One of our runs is a scavenger hunt!
Step 1: Register by the deadline.
Register by Thursday, January 7th. Cost is $25 per month. Those on monthly subscriptions do not need to register. Volunteers helping with “Running with Distance” do not need to register.
Step 2: Look for an email from Coach Amy for maps and start locations.
Printed maps will not be available at the run and they are not accessible via the website. Links to printable and downloadable maps will e-mailed to you upon registration or confirmation of your continued membership so that you can print or upload to your training device or phone. Some maps show distances of over 10 miles. You can run further if you’d like, but if you want to “run into” more peeps, we suggest you stick to the 10 mile route and turn at back at mile 5.
Step 3: Follow these instructions for a safe and fun run.
Meet at 7AM. There is no run lead or official start. The goal is to see your friends out on the course for camaraderie as opposed to running right next to them.
Even though it is cold, you still sweat and lose water when you exhale and replacing it every 2 miles or 20 min. is critical for performance and health when running. Coach Amy recommends you carry a water bottle or hydration pack. Water will be available at mile 4 on the course for a refill. The water stop will be out no later than 7:30 AM and picked up no earlier than 8:30 AM. Sanitizer is provided for you to use before touching the supplies.
Stay socially distanced at least 6 feet at ALL times.
Throw air high-fives, jump up and down, clap and cheer for your run buddies on the course.
