Attention Madison/Chatham/Morristown area runners! Whether or not you are affiliated with a running club come check out the Rose City Runners. We meet every Saturday morning at the Kitchell Rd. parking area of nearby Loantaka Park. Meet time is 8:30 a.m. April-October and 9 a.m. November-March.

Because of the current pandemic, getting together for a run is our only activity for the time being. Because we break into smaller groups on pace, we are able to keep our distance safely. We hope to be back soon to sharing a post run breakfast every Saturday, complete with a fire in the shelter fireplace on cold winter days. We also hope to start having member hosted house parties. When races start coming back our USATF racing team will be active racing against other NJ clubs. Racing on the team is an option, but not a requirement for membership. Just come some Saturday. Members run varying paces (including a few walkers) and cover 3-8 miles, much on quiet wooded park trails. We are a friendly welcoming group. When trails are icy/snow covered we use alternate routes.

Contact BarbaraRushman@yahoo.com or visit our website www.RoseCityRunners.com for more information.
