Orders ship in 4-5 weeks, so get your orders in now! The store offers sports bra, singlets, short sleeve, long sleeve, jacket, and shorts options! The store will only be open for a few weeks (close date TBD) so don’t dilly-dally!
If you have questions about sizing let Ned or Teddy know. We can bring samples to practice. There are also quite a few club members who have these who might be able to provide input, so ask a friend!
We are bringing back the pandemic-inspired club-only 5k/10k. We will host the race on Sunday July 24, starting in front of the JCC / Brown Stadium on Elmgrove. The roads will be open but we will have marshals on the course pointing runners in the correct direction. If you are interested in racing or volunteering please email Anne and Bob. For runners, specify which distance and predicted time. See attached for more info.
Deadline to register: July 17
Cost: No entry fees, however, a donation box will be available for those who wish to contribute to the RMHP.
All runners will be hand timed. The course has been verified with a measuring wheel.

Running is a mostly a linear activity in regards to your joint movements. This results in imbalances in your hip muscles, particularly those involved in rotation. The muscles that rotate your hip help to control your spine and knee positioning and are often ignored in strengthening programs. Here are two exercises from our friends at Performance Physical Therapy to do in less than one minute with one piece of equipment to help keep your hip, knees, and spine healthy.
