Join us after the workout on the first Tuesday of every month for pizza! These workouts/group runs offer a great opportunity for runners and walkers to meet, share training tips, and motivate each other to accomplish their goals. Membership in the ORRC is not required to participate in these workouts. However, we are confident that you will eventually want to join us so you too can get inside information on club events, merchandise and race discounts, and races. Please join us!
Warm-Up & Cool Down All runners/walkers should warm-up before working out with 15-20 minutes of easy jogging or walking. From the Cedar Hills Recreation Center (Spring and Summer) we will do a slow group warm-up for one and a half miles down and around a local neighborhood park and lake. Repeat runners include 100-meter strides. Don't forget a light stretch after warm-up and cool down and stretch after your workout for 10-20 minutes. Caution: Water fountains and bathrooms are available in the Cedar Hills Recreation Center.
