Saturday Morning Group Runs
In Montgomery:
Informal group runs are held most Saturday mornings at the Blount Cultural Park, aka Shakespeare. If there is a race being held in town the turnout may not be as large, but generally speaking someone will be there.
The group meets at 7:00 AM near the restrooms and ticket office. Here is a map to help you find the group. The start time will vary with the season (earlier in summer, later in winter), so check here for the latest information.
There are several runners at various speeds. In fact, walkers are welcome as well.
Typical distance covered is 3-5 miles, depending on the person. Occasionally someone in the group is training for a marathon or half-marathon and will be going longer.
The group meets for refreshments and fellowship at Starbucks around the corner afterward. Bring an extra towel, shirt/shorts and some cash, or just bring a drink with you if you're not a Starbucks fan.
In Prattville:
A current member is interested in starting a Saturday morning running group.
The member would like to meet those interested at the parking lot of Eye Care Plus located on the corner between Highway 14 E. and Jasmine Trails.
Start time would be 6 am (minimal traffic -- start to finish). All distances and abilities are welcomed, but usual run of 7-9 miles or more on Saturday.
Depending on the group's preference, after the run the group could do breakfast at IHOP (24 hrs) or Mcdonalds (opens at 6 am). For more information e-mail: melizabethsmith@hotmail.com
