Each Month we're going to host a "Mingle Night" at Foot Rx. This will be a very informal gathering in which we will invite a special guest for you to speak with & get to know others in the community. This month, Danny Dreyer (Chi Running) will be present for all to talk to about running technique, form, & other pertinent topics. This is not a formal talk, but rather a "gathering" with horderves & beverages in which any one can talk with Danny at any point in the evening. This is a free event which will start at 7pm at Foot Rx. Please RSVP to aaron@footrxasheville.com so we know how much food & drink to purchase.

Group Run time?

Hello all!
We're trying to find out if 6pm on Mondays is too early for a group run. We're going to start a rotation of locations in Sept. Locations to be included (not necessarily in this order):
Mountains to Sea
Mills River Rec Area
Bent Creek
Dupont
Foster Creek
Please e-mail aaron@footrxasheville.com with your thoughts on time. As it gets darker, we'll eliminate the Mountains to Sea & Foster Creek locations and do headlamp runs in the other three locations.
Thank you!
