Let’s go!

Kinda chic to come to 816 run club, and to run for the first time, or the 57262673th time, and to push yourself farther than you thought, and to walk if you didn’t want to run, and to talk to a new person, and to scream “great work” to someone that you don’t know,and to wake up early to beat the heat, and to stop to take pics of the sunrise, and to not compare your day 1 to someone’s day 1,478, and to fuel before your run, and refuel after your run, and to not call coffee “breakfast”, and to drink coffee with your friends, and to say thank you to the baristas, and to clap for the person running next to you, and to say good morning to everyone we pass on the streets, and to show up every Saturday after!!!!

And you are so chic, twin😉

816 Run Club, On and The Running Well Store are bringing you the 4th edition of 816 Relays!

816 Relays is an event that celebrates the running community and the city we love by teaming up runners of all paces to compete through the streets of KC. This round we will be offering two events: 4 x 1 Mile relay and a 2 Mile open. Run one or both!

4 x 1 Mile Relay teams: Just like past years, you will sign up as an individual and we will build the teams based on your estimated mile times. The goal is to create a competitive race where every team has a shot at the win!

2 Mile Open: want to show off your speed? This is the race for you. The second race of the night will be an opportunity for those who want to compete for themselves to race against one another.

(Courses are not finalized and distances may change slightly)

Confidence doesn’t just happen overnight… confidence is gained by repeated experiences of doing the thing you feared, the thing you said you would do, the thing you didn’t think possible.

That confidence then overflows into every area of your life!!!!

You all should be a little more confident after today. Now keep showing up, for yourself and for eachother!!❤️
