Congratulations Team R.E.D!

Congratulations are in order for Team R.E.D!
Happy Anniversary!   

It was 4 years ago today, this club made our first steps together. Running from the 'old bears den' in Byron.   At the time, we thought we'd gather once a month (once a month!)... and we'd go for a run come back for a drink (well some things haven't changed, but some surely have!)

As you likely know, we now meet EVERY Thursday, with additional opportunities on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday & sometimes Sunday!   Volunteer opportunities are ample as well!

Here is a slideshow from that first year... it's fun to see many of the faces that have remained an active part of Team R.E.D., and it's great to remember others who were active with us, but now not so much... if you see them, tap them on the shoulder and say "come on back!" 

On that first day we had 21 members (far exceeding our expectations).  Today we have 195 members!   Wow!    Additionally, and you'll see it in the slideshow below, originally we had two sponsors.... and today, we have six fantastic sponsors!   It's all awesome!   




Stay tuned for details... but for you types who like a teaser... TerraLoco is hosting a 4th year celebration party for Team R.E.D. in June.  All the details will follow, as the event is pulled together.  One thing I'm sure.. It'll be fun!
