March
15th will be the final meeting for the increasingly popular Ambler Borough
run on Thursday evenings. The March 15th run will start in daylight and
will conclude with a Thirsty Third Thursday gathering at the Fireside
Tavern, lead sponsor of our 2012 Frostbite 5-miler. Many thanks to Mike for stepping up and doing a great job as manager of the Thursday Fun Run. Track workouts will start on Thursday, March 22, returning to the fabulous Germantown Academy stadium on Morris Road. The official start time is 6:30, but come early to warm up. All ability levels are welcome and can benefit. In addition to the track, the GA campus offers a network of paved and nature trails, as well as connections to the Green Ribbon Trail, now in two directions, upstream and downstream. |

More details about many of these events can often be found on the AARC Online Forum for members.
