OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. 

Dearest Clubbers,

I hope everyone has had a great summer so far! This email is mostly for newbies so returning members feel free to skim. I’ll have updates on our summer fundraiser, social events, and race schedules in later emails.

First of all, welcome to run club! If your already on this listserv it means you’re on top of it! We are so excited to meet all of you at our first day of practice on Tuesday but first, allow me to clarify what exactly Run Club is.

________________________________________________________________________________

What is Run Club?

Run Club AKA UNC Club XCTF is first and foremost an inclusive running community for all running minded individuals to come together and bond over our shared love of running. We have the option to compete at a national level in both Cross Country and Track and Field  but you are NOT required to compete to be apart of the club. Many of our members just come to practices to run! Of course, we do a lot more than just run but you’ll have to stick around to find out. 

There are no attendance requirements, no tryouts, and no dues unless you are planning to compete (I will talk about dues in a later email after the first week!)

Location: Hooker Fields (just outside Carmichael Arena)

Meeting Time: 5:00pm

__________________________________________________________________________________

The first day of practice, we will have quite a few pace groups to choose from with almost all of them doing variations of the same route to ensure no one gets left behind if you choose a group that is too fast for you. Each group will act as a safety net for the one above it so no need to worry about falling behind!

ABSOLUTELY FIRED UP TO SEE EVERYONE ON TUESDAY (also come see us at Sports Club Fest on Monday).

A very fired up,
