VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!

We are still in need of volunteers for the Resolution Run. If you are unable to run that day or are supporting a runner, come on out and help with the race. The run takes place on January 1st at noon. We need marshals, a sweep, and a couple of people to help with timing and race kit pick up on the day of the race. If you are interested in helping out, please call the store at 523-4664 or email us at sudbury@runningroom.com. Food and drinks will be provided for the volunteers as well as the runners.

Thanks for your help!

TRAINING TIP:
We have been experiencing some snowy, slippery, icy conditions...how fun!!! Just like winter driving we sometimes forget how to do it at the beginning of the season so here are a few reminders:
Shorten your stride slightly to ensure you don't over-step and slip, running the risk of falling or pulling a muscle.
Ensure you are wearing coolmax/smartwool/driwright socks to keep your feet dry and thus WARM!
In really slick conditions put "get a grips" or "yak trax" on your shoes. These handy grippers will ensure a more confident stride
When running/walking on the roads make sure you are SINGLE file in busy areas...the roads get narrower with snow banks and we aren't trying to be a target for the cars, but the roads are tended to before sidewalks and will be better for footing.
