Mark Your Calendars!!!
F4F Packet Pick-Up
If you are doing the Fort 4 Fitness and would like to caravan up to packet pick up, we will meet at the Wal-Mart parking lot near the gas station at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, September 26th. We can carpool up to Parkview stadium, look around the expo, get our packets, and point out key aspects of the race for anyone who is new (start line, finish line, meet-up area). The kids and seniors finish their marathons while we will be up there so it is super fun to watch them cross the finish line. Afterward, we will go to Zianos on Convington to "Carb Up" - always a GREAT time of food, fun, and fellowship. We'll arrive back in Bluffton by about 9:15 p.m. - enough time to get a good night's rest before race day! If you want to join us, please email me by Wed 9/24 so I can give the restaurant a head count.
Summer Striders 2015 - YES, let's start planning for next summer!!!

One last week
We have certainly experienced EVERY type of weather this summer and the past 15 weeks have flown by. We have one last week of Summer Striders 2014 - Wednesday, August 27th. We'll meet at the white bridge at 5:30 p.m. for a final walk & talk session followed by a celebration at El Camino. This is one of my very favorite sessions as we get a chance to connect, enjoy nature, and celebrate a job well done. See you Wednesday!

Walking/Running for a purpose
Some of you are still wondering why you would ever do a race? On top of all of the other reasons, one good one is that often races raise money for important local charities.
Take this opportunity with Fort 4 Fitness for example . . .

Races big and small locally and in exotic locations generally all have some or all of the race registration proceeds benefiting good causes - consider doing a race! It's not only good for your health, but it helps others!!!!
