Sat Roadrunners Kickoff

Westminister Elementary School - Main Street and Abbot Kinney, Venice, CA.

This Sat. the LA Roadrunners will have their welcome and kickoff gathering at the usual location in Venice.  It starts at 8am, as runners will be able to register outside the auditorium at the banana tables.

There will not be any running this weekend, that will officially start with a 3 mile run next week. What will happen this week will be several speakers inside the auditorium which is planned to start by 8:30am.

There will be a welcome by Ginger Williams, the new director of the Roadrunners, followed by a report about the Marathon by the Race director, and then there will be 5 - 15min. presentations by Rod, our coach, and other specialist who will address issues such as proper shoes and fit, injury prevention, proper breathing and yoga, and proper nutrition for runners.

I think this could all be very interesting, since we usually miss these speakers during the regular season, plus the fact that I've been asked to help introduce one of these special guests.

Plus outside there will be tables where groups will have different charities which runners can sign up for.  The idea is that you would have other folks sponsor your run and donate to the charity you select.


So come on out and check it all out.
