ATTENTION RUNNERS β€” LOCATION CHANGE AHEAD (10/14)!
Wednesday Evening Run Update!

Starting Wednesday, October 14, we’re shifting to our Late Fall/Winter spot β€” meet us behind BMO Harris Bank in downtown Batavia on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm.

We’ll head out along the Fox River Trail toward Geneva and back! As it will be getting dark sooner, bring your headlamp and reflective vest!!!

NOTE: As the winter months approach, if the trail is too icy or slick, no worries β€” we’ll switch to the streets. Rain, snow, or shine, the Wednesday miles roll on!
