Loads of events this month!

We can't wait to meet our new runners tonight with our Couch to Turkey Trot! Information session at 6 outside of Deep River followed by the first coached run! 🦃👟

Blood Drive on the 16th! We are a FREE run club and non profit organization therefore we have to fundraise in different ways. One of those ways is through blood donations. If you have time, stop by Generation Church by Deep River on Friday to donate blood! Blood🩸🩸

Runner's Yard Sale will be held at Deep River and will be selling used but still good items to help fundraiser for the club. We are accepting donations for this event! (Please see Paula and Kim as they are collecting) 🎽⌚️👟

25: Run RDC! Help our run club get $1000! The team with the highest number of people CROSS the finish line receives $1000! No matter what event you run, as long as you cross the finish line and you sign up under Clayton Area Runners, you could towards CAR! 💰🏁

29: Costume run! Run as a princess, dinosaur, or a minion! Let's dress up to have a fun run! This is also our last club run before daylight savings switch on Nov 1! So make sure you're reflective gear is good for the runs after! 🎽🦖👑🎃👻
