WABASH, IN- Visit Wabash County officials announce the return of the ‘Wabash River Run Club,’ a free running series that will begin on March 2 at 8 AM. Meet at Alley Cat Outfitters on 100 Berry Street.
From March 2 through June 1, anyone who is interested in a free, family-friendly, 60-minute run (or walk) is invited to meet at Alley Cat Outfitters, 100 Berry Street, Wabash at 7:45 AM each Saturday. All of the run leaders are outdoor adventure enthusiasts who welcome runners/walkers to build a sense of community with health and wellness at the center. Each week the group will hit the trail for an easy 30-minute run/walk in one direction and then turn around and head back to Alley Cat Outfitters, making it a total of 60 active minutes
“I love that Run Club encourages people to get out and get active regardless of their fitness level. Walkers can take advantage of the trail and build their endurance. Runners can use it as a training tool with other runners. Even your fur babies can join the fun (on leashes) to burn off some energy with others who want to take advantage of the beautiful Wabash River Trail,” said Stephanie Rogers, experiences manager for Visit Wabash County. “I’m grateful Alley Cat Outfitters is the host location. It is perfectly located along the trail and provides knowledge and training gear for our community!
“We are pumped to be the host location for the Wabash River Run Club”, said Alley Cat owner, Luke Kalbfell. “It’s awesome to support so many walkers and runners that allow us to be a part of their fitness journey. The team at Alley Cat wants to encourage the community to explore the outdoors and take advantage of the trail.”
Wabash River Run Club was created as an opportunity for people to organically meet new people and enjoy the outdoors while sneaking in exercise. There is a scheduled run leader each week to welcome and lead the group. Whether you are training for Wabash Run The River 5k, 10k, or half marathon on June 8th or just want to get out with your friends and family to run and enjoy nature, everyone is invited to join the run club and become a part of a community of people who want to reach health goals in a social setting,
