Announcements:

3/10/2019 From GVH President, Mike Johnson:

GVH'ers, We've turned a corner moving away from Winter with warm, dry days ahead along with lighter skies for early evening running! This means we transition to the Summer route on Thursday depending on the mood (and they can be moody...😘) of the Thursday night runners....check out Fleet Feet's option below for March 14 to consider as well!

Pi Day Run, Thurs, 6 pm. Fleet Feet Davis will host a 3.14 mile fun run with demo shoes from New Balance and pie afterwards! Special guest Katie Arnold, winner of the Leadville 100 and free lance journalist will join the run and also present her new book "Running Home" at Avid Reader 7:30 pm.

Lagers for Joggers request for input last week had little support - so we'll not go forward with this event for 2019. Those that responsed liked the social aspect -- we'll look to plan some meetups for the club at local spots throughout the Spring Summer season. Watch for these!
