Every Second and Fourth Thursday

Join us every second and fourth Thursday of the month at Memorial Park! Whether you’re training for an upcoming race, unwinding after a long day at work, or want to hang out with fellow animal lovers, our Run Club is for you. Our team will meet at the Runner’s Stretching Deck and will be using the 3-Mile Loop as our track. All paces are welcome, walking, jogging, or running. Our goal is to foster a community of fellow animal lovers through active exercise every month.

 

Lace Up and Show Up!

Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to join the fun at the park. Our team will have water bowls available at our table to help keep your pup hydrated. Don’t forget to bring poop bags and be prepared to clean up after your dog. Whether they’re running beside you or just enjoying the fresh air, your dog is part of the community too!
