Hey Root Kickers,
Time to slap on those crusty trail shoes and hit the trails of Lake Needwood with the Muddy Shoes gang! Beautiful weather abounds for now but Summer temps are coming. Still got time to enjoy some nicer temps and get some miles in. Don’t miss it!
Announcements then details, as usual:
- Did I mention that 2024 marks the 10 year anniversary of Muddy Shoes? Yup, ten years ago we had our first run. To mark the occasion we will be getting some commemorative swag to celebrate. Stay tuned. Save your money! T-shirts are coming?!
- Muddy Shoes Saturday Trail Runs are ongoing! Regular Saturday runs that take us to trails and venues that you might not have seen in a larger group. We also provide after-run refreshments (remember ice cold mini-Cokes and pickle chips?) and chit-chat. Mingle with your trail besties! Keep an eye out for details sent out each Friday.
- We have swag! Muddy Shoes Baseball caps (a mere $15), Buffs ($10) and Reusable Cups ($5). See Coach Phil or Coach Mike (Chau)
