Saturday's Adventure Run (nearly 4 miles)-01/26/2019

While this run may only be 'nearly' 4 miles, you're getting a LOT of bang for the buck on this one! Over the course of this AWESOME run, you'll tackle road, trail, hill(s), and more!

Additionally, this route includes one of the most EPIC views in the entire city (Immigrant Point Overlook)!
Lastly, sprinkled along the course are a number of magical, silver medallions. Find one of these and you've got a shot at winning a prize following the run. 
Prizes include a FREE entry to the spring season of Run Club, A Runner's Mind giftcard, a free entry to The Rattlesnake Ramble 5K/10K/Half (Sun, 2/24), a free entry to The Sasquatch Scramble 5K/10K/Half (Sun, 4/21), and more!
We’ll get things rolling with an easy 1/2 mile warmup run to Julius Kahn Park. From there we’ll do some range of motion drills before starting the run.
