Tuesday & Thursday Evenings: 6:00 PM
Tuesday and Thursday evening workouts meet at Reid Park behind the amphitheater. Enter the park on Concert Way from Country Club. Take a quick left on Buckey Steele Dr. and follow it back to the baseball fields. We encourage everyone to get in a 10-15 minute warm-up & cool down before and after every workout. There are bathrooms and drinking fountains available at the park but we still recommend bringing a water bottle. Tim Bentley is the lead coach on Tuesday & Thursday nights. Michelle Hawk, Dave odom, and Doreen Davis are assistant coaches. They are a knowledgeable team so feel free to pick their brains for useful running tips as you’re sipping your post-workout protein shake and watching the sun go down over the ball fields.
Tuesday & Thursday Mornings: 5:30 AM
Tuesday and Thursday morning workouts will start on September 6. They take place at Rillito Park (1st St. & River Rd.). Enter the park from 1st at the northern entrance and drive straight in. The dirt track we use goes around the soccer fields to the left (north) of the entrance. We encourage everyone to get in at least a 10-15 minute warm-up before and after every workout. Bring a water bottle and a head lamp for safety. Tia Accetta is the lead coach on Tuesday & Thursday mornings and she claims there is no better way to start the day than with a sunrise workout!
Saturday Come Run: 6:00 AM
Saturday run locations vary each week so it is necessary to get on the group email list or join the Come Run Group Page on Facebook to receive the details for each run. Saturday runs are usually longer, ranging from 10-12 miles or more. Contact kamran2054@yahoo.com for more information.
What you need to know:
Running should be safe and fun, especially running with a group! Just to be safe, carry emergency contact info. on you somewhere easily accessible, like written on your water bottle, on a bracelet, or inside your hat. In the summer it’s a good idea to carry water with you when running.
