Metro Run & Walk Run Walk Live! Series
Over the past year, we have presented several runs where we emphasized fun and participation rather than the competition and bells and whistles of a full-infrastructure race.
We have also tried to offer something a bit different,with an interesting theme, an interesting location, or filling a gap in the local running calendar -- and at a nice affordable price to boot.
Judging by the turnout and feedback, we have decided to add several more events and make it a series with at least 6 events spread throughout the year.
Metro Run & Walk’s long-time motto ‘Run Walk Live!’ reflects our culture of inclusiveness and lifestyle, so we thought it would be a perfect choice for the series name.
At a Run Walk Live! event, you can expect:
Thematic and/or whimsical fun
Affordable prices (often $10), with optional add on fee for the raceshirt or other race goodie (another $10 or so)
No race scoring and no performance awards (race clock will be provided)
A course that is measured, marked, and staffed at key junctures
At least 2 distance options, with the shorter being suitable for (but not restricted to!) kids and walkers
A welcoming attitude toward baby-joggers and dogs (site permitting)
Nothing fancy or complicated
Post-race goodies
Diverse locations near Greater Springfield, so you can run in some new places
Dates / times / seasons to fill gaps in the racing calendar
Proceeds support local charities consistent with the race theme
