FUN RUNS
Fun runs are informal, non-competitive runs (or walks) open to members and their guests. Non-members are welcome, but are asked to join the Club if they plan to participate on a regular basis. There is no entry fee and no facilities are provided. Runners just arrive, socialize, run (or walk), and usually go out to eat afterwards. The basic distance can be altered to fit individual needs. Contact Benny and Becky Yih at 435-940-1152 for more information.

* These runs are part of the annual Winter Breakfast Series. Club members have agreed to host participants at their residences after the run to enjoy conversation, camaraderie, and food. Participants are asked to bring juice, bagels, pastries, fruit (or something similar) to share.
Predict your run: During this run a course is laid out each person (who chooses to participate) starts out with no watch and puts a $1 in the pot the person who predicts the time they will run the course in, the closest without going over wins the pot.
On most Sundays, a small group meets for an informal fun run. All runs begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. Meet at the Highland High School north parking lot, 2100 S. 1700 E. Attendance is variable. Distance (generally ranging from 5-8 miles) and pace depend on the group.
Runners participating in fun runs or other SLCTC events are expected to have a signed waiver on file with the Membership Committee. If you need additional information, contact the Board at slctrack@xmission.com.
