When we m...First of all, this club is a great idea. When we moved to Hattiesburg over 10 years ago, there was no running club. At the first meeting of the Pine Belt Pacers, we had 12 people and we now have 300. Your club will have the same growth.Something that your group might want to participate in: Saturday, September 4, there will be a celebration of the 10th year since the opening of the Longleaf Trace. It will be held at the USM Gateway and there will be a bike ride, a roll and stroll (for runners, walker, roller bladers,etc) as well as other activities. The event will be free and participants will get a t-shirt and a free meal.

It has worked pretty well. People will post up where and when they are doing a s/b/r workout and then others jump on board. It also allows for direct messages to members and a place to post club pics and videos. <br /><br />Wish you guys the best of luck with the new club!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-58964441392992694972010-07-23T08:07:44.071-05:002010-07-23T08:07:44.071-05:00Great job!!!

That is an awesome turn out and with you behind the wheel I know it will be structured right and organized!<br /><br />If you want any tid bits go to the Cleveland Triathlon Club website, they have pretty much exactly what you described! Their forum area is where we get the most information on local meetups and what not.<br /><br />Great job James! To be honest, the newbies gain the most from these clubs!!!Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-46074740792312176892010-07-23T07:24:31.278-05:002010-07-23T07:24:31.278-05:00It was a great event James!
