Ready to start the New Year off on the right foot? Join us at Fleet Feet Bloomington at noon on January 1st for a free fun run and walk. Run or walk as little or as much as you'd like (event concludes at 1:00 pm). All paces welcome! The store will be open at 11:30 for a very special sale (details coming soon) but we will not be fitting for shoes (hope you can understand - this is a holiday for our team, too).
Anyone who pre-registers by 11:00 am and shows up to run will be eligible to win some fun prizes and store gift cards. Pre-registration will close at 11:00 am - you can still participate and sign our waiver in person at The Store.
On Run Day: If you are pre-registered you do not need to check-in. Anyone not pre-registered will need to sign a waiver. Stay warm in your car and plan your arrival time based on the following pace groups. We will take a photo of each group and take off in two minute increments.
12:00 pm // 8:00 - 10:00 minutes per mile
12:02 pm // 10:00 - 12:00 minutes per mile
12:04 pm // 12:00 - 15:00 minutes per mile
12:06 pm // 15:00+ minutes per mile & walkers
We will run our usual "W" route from the store - click here for a map of the route. Please be mindful of other participants when considering bringing your dog or a stroller - the route is a combination of sidewalks and streets.
For 1 mile head to the stoplight at Hershey and back.
For 2 miles stay on Washington the entire time and head to Evergreen Raquet Club and back.
For 3 miles complete the "W."
