THIS is NOT an organized MASS event.  This is an assembled, organized way to allow single file or family group take turns running the same course on a public path.  "Demonstrating" that we can do healthy activity even in current circumstances. Take a STANCE that your health and well being is important! . Exercising yourself and the right to use public , outdoor spaces to stay healthy, ahead of heart disease, obesity, depression, and all kinds of wonderful things running helps fight.  Not to mention , reap the benefits of endorphins, the character building that competition brings, and the camaraderie that still can be felt though doing a TOGETHER-APART , club style form of safe running.  Let's make the NEW YEAR HAPPY!

The ultimate goal is to Stay safe, Stay healthy, Stay active .  And stay motivated .
