Coach Jim’s free group long run: Saturday, December 31, 2016

Last day of the year, last run of the year for Coach Jim and his lovely group of friendly pacers. And you’re invited! All runners are welcome to join this group for spring marathon and half marathon training!

The group is running out of Grand Central Bakery this Saturday (12/31/16), located at 714 N. Fremont in Portland. As always, the run starts a 8a. With this location, runners are asked not to use the Bakery parking lot and instead find street parking, so that regular customers have no trouble finding a parking spot.

This week’s run is made up of two routes: first is a 6-mile lollipop from the Bakery to Grant High School and second is a 9-mile out and back along the Overlook neighborhood and the bluff. You can choose to run one or both of these routes depending on what your current mileage is.

You can RSVP to this run online through Coach Jim’s Running Group’s facebook page here – that helps him plan each week.
