Club Events
 

St Patty's Day Parade Run / Party

 

Every March is our Annual St Patty's  Day Run / Post race celebration . Club members caravan  to Downtown STL to enjoy the Michelob St. Patty's Day Parade 5 mile Run. Afterwards the club enjoys the Irish post race festivities at the finish line and then eats and drinks at nearby pub.  Don't forget to wear Green!

 

 

River 2 River Relay

 

 

Every year the club assembles a team for the very popular River 2 River Relay in Southern Illinois. 8 runners, 80 miles and a smelly van equals one long , exciting, fun-filled day. The race starts on the bluffs on the Mississippi River and travels across Illinois to the banks of the Ohio River in Golconda, IL. Each team member runs 3 5K legs alternating until the finish.
