holiday hustle

Get ready for a fun, 4-ish mile group run full of holiday cheer on Thursday, December 11th at 6:00 pm!

Here’s the plan:

Starting Point: East parking lot at Southside High School

We’ll head down Old Greenwood Road to Creekmore Park, enjoy the holiday lights as we run through the park, and then make our way back up Old Greenwood Road to Southside High School. Afterwards, we’ll warm up with delicious coffee and hot chocolate from Fort Smith Coffee Co. and cookies from Creative Kitchen, because we love supporting local!

Important Reminder: Since it will be dark, please bring a light (headlamp, flashlight, or light-up gear) to ensure a safe and enjoyable run.

finish strong

On Wednesday, December 31st at 2:00 pm, we are meeting at Torraine Lake for our last group run of the year! Get in those last minute miles to finish the year out strong! No registration or fee required.

TGRC Group Run

Did you start running or a workout program, and then quit because it was hard to find the motivation on your own?  There are times when running and working out is just easier when you have someone to do it with.  Sometimes, finding that someone is difficult.  With our group runs, you’re all set!

And now you ask, “But, what if I’m the slowest?”  Not a problem!  All paces are welcome to join in our group runs! You are bound to find a “pace buddy.”  Still concerned about keeping up?  Invite others to come with you!  With more people, we can accommodate more paces, and no one is left behind. All group runs are free and open to the public.  Group runs happen rain or shine, but will be canceled in the event of lightning, ice, or other severe weather conditions.  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the latest information concerning group runs. The Grit Group Run is an easy out-and-back 3 mile course so you can go as far or as short as you like! All abilities welcome and encouraged, walkers, runners, dogs and strollers!

***Please no dogs if the temperature is above 85 degrees. Our 4-legged friends have a fur coat, do not sweat like we do, and their paws get burned on hot pavement.***

Courses may cross a few busy intersections, so we ask that you be extra cautious, obey traffic signals, and never assume a driver “sees” you.

Rules: 1. Sign the waiver 2. Obey traffic signals 3. Wear bright clothing OR use lights OR other visibility gear. 4. All dogs MUST be on a leash at all times.

For more information, call 479-434-3571.

In the event of inclement weather (lightning/heavy rain/high winds/tornadoes/hail/ice), the event will not be held.
