Mellow Monday- Join us every Monday for a 3 mile recovery run around Memorial Park at 7:00 p.m.Runners who are interested should park on the east side of the parking lot in front of the softball fields off of the Picnic Loop.

We meet in the church parking lot at the corner of Sage Road and Woodway Drive at 5:30 am.
