Unfortunately this falls on a Thursday AM, May 23d, at 6:15, and we have the Oak as well as the SOT.   Do not want to take away any growth from either location but if someone wants to help me out, I would appreciate it. 

THANKS.

To all runner pax!
The one and only spectacular Blue Ridge Relay is back on this year and Lowe’s is recruiting team members for 9 man team. Maybe if there is a lot of interest and commitments plans can change to 12 man team, not sure.


There are spots available, regardless.
Dates: depart for VA Sept 5, return from NC Sept 9.

Please reach out to DC and myself.
If you have done this before – BRR is your race, if you have always thought about it but have not tried – it is an experience to remember!

Downrange PAX

Posting at another F3 location is know as posting “downrange”. If you’re traveling, check out the #downrange channel on the F3Nation Slack for opportunities to meet up with brothers all around the world.

THIS as seen in the Downrange channel, 9:02 pm 4/16 and 7:56 am 4/17:

“I see dudes wearing F3 shirts and immediately we are all best of friends”
“There is nothing that can compare to running into someone wearing the shirt and knowing what kind of dude they are.”
“F3 Everywhere I run these days…Great way to start a 10K.”

In what other organization/community can I this be said?
We continue strongly to create bonds of brotherhood in our AOs and regions…and these bonds extend beyond that.

In New Jersey, the men get excited and look forward to region anniversary workouts and fellowship to celebrate the impact that we are having in our personal lives, in our families, in our communities, and in our state.
