From the Organizer
It's time for The Captain's Runaround!
For those not familiar with Captain’s, it is a timed race. Runners compete in 4-, 6-, or 8, or new for this year, 2 hour events to see how many miles they can complete.
This year, we are back at Jacob Myers Park in Riverbank. While the loop is just shy of 1 mile, it is a fantastic place to spend the day.
Embrace the short days of fall and take on Captain’s Runaround. You’ll be glad you did.
