 RUNNING CLUB

 We are recruiting to form a running group for recreational runners to meet on Sunday mornings at 8am. This is a great opportunity for those that are looking to start a training program or incorporate a group run into your existing training program. We are choosing the Columbia Trail in Long Valley as the meeting point. There is ample parking and the

trail is flat and shaded. No matter what your running pace or distance objectives, everyone is welcome. The first step is to sign up with the Recreation Department and get on the email distribution (Email recreation@chestertownship.org)

After we have established an initial group we will email everyone a date for our first run!

 

This is a great way to meet other Chester residents that share a common

interest. Please pass this communication on to other Chester residents

that you feel would be interested.
