ROCK SPRINGS – Get your running shoes laced up and take advantage of several opportunities to enjoy a safe and social way to get in shape.
Whether you’re a beginner or competitive runner, the Rock Springs Recreation Department is again providing fun, low-key run/walk that’s safe and social. The run is typically no more than 50 minutes, although 50 is not a magic number. The department said they try to have runs go “out and back” so that everyone can start and finish together and run at their own pace with others of similar ability.
New runners may only want to run a mile or two; experienced athletes might do a tempo run. This is geared towards families and people of all ages. Walking is also encouraged. There is no fee to participate.
An adult must be present for children 12 and under.
Mondays, registration is at 6 p.m. and the run starts at 6:30 p.m. The first one is this Monday at the Rock Springs CIvic Center. The theme is ugly shirt/sweatshirt.
Future runs include:
June 23, Rock Springs High School, Zombie run theme
July 7, Northpark Elementary, Patriotic Run
July 21, Century West Park, Suds, Slip and Slide run
Aug. 4, Pilot Butte Middle School, Color Run
Aug. 18, Central Administration Building, Glow Stick Run
