Carlisle Road Runners Club

2010-03-09T07:55:00.000-08:00

The Carlisle Road Runners are looking for some fresh faces to help keep the club going through 2010. ARC would love to see the club not just survive, but thrive! The club has a history of putting on well-attended races but has stalled a bit in the last few years. Those races include the Summerfair 10K (a free race!) and the Minnich Half Marathon. If you would like to see these race continue and grow, or wuuld just like to meet up with other runners on a regular basis please contact Jim at 249.7591. There will be an informational meeting this Sunday, the 14th, at 2pm if interested.

Chambersburg Half

2010-03-09T07:50:00.000-08:00

This Saturday is the Chambersburg Half Marathon. It's a well-run race that atrracts a great crowd early in the year. The course is accurate, plenty of aid stations, and a hearty crowd of onlookers for extra support. Many people expect the course to be flat but it has numerous hills. It is not a brutally hilly course, but expect to encounter some hills throughout the race. It is a very fair course but maybe not your PR course. If you are looking for a way to get out and challenge yourself early in the year this might be your race!

Sneaky Speed March

2010-03-09T07:46:00.000-08:00

After a month of hills we'll venture into the flats and work on a strong finishing kick. We'll still cover 4-6 miles total but the emphasis will be on the final push to the finish line. If we get really good at it we'll work on a finish line dance too!

See you Wednesdays at 6pm!

Barefoot Running

2010-01-27T07:09:00.001-08:00

We receive many questions regarding barefoot running or minimalist running. It's a complicated subject. A great resource regarding the topic can be found here:

If you have more questions just ask!

Group Runs

2010-01-27T06:50:00.000-08:00

We have two group runs on Wednesdays from the store. Both start at 6pm and go rain or shine, warm or cold.

"Sneaky Speed" is a workout that incorporates intervals, springs, hills, and our dreaded sled into an hour long workout. We work on all the things that runners know they need to work on, only in a group setting! Total mileage for a workout is between 4-6 miles. Even though there are a wide range of abilities the workouts can be adjusted so that you can leave with a hard workout but not be fried for the next week!

"Left Right Repeat" is an enthusiastic group led by Debbie. This group takes ladies from wanting to run to running efficiently and without pain. No need to apologize for not being a runner here; Debbie will show you how to put your dreams and aspirations into movement by teaching proper form, how to build up time and miles realistically, and how to enjoy what others call work!

There is no cost to the runs. Come every week or show up at your convience, we are happy to have you!
