Sept 4, 2014

We threw it down cold! Thanks to all those who took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge with us and also to those donated to any charity that is looking to make such diseases as ALS kick the bucket. Here is our epic video!

But the fun continues soon. First off, it continues tonight with the 343rd Flying Irish run! A good number as any to celebrate! But you will notice we added to special Flying Irish runs to the upcoming events list to the right. Read below to find out all the fun!!

• Sept 11 – Flying Irish Bling Bling Run… The summer is quickly coming to a close but we know you all ran in a few races over the year so far and that means you collected some cool finisher medals and race t-shirts. We want to see you showing off all your awesome swag in one epic event. Competition of who can put Mr. T to shame!
• Sept 26 – First ever Flying Irish Zombie Run… dress up as a zombie or as a potential survivor and we have a bit of fun on the run!!

See you all Thursday ready to throw it down!!

Volunteers Needed

The Flying Irish is going to have the tent setup at the Glow in the Park run and man an aid/party station. If you are interested in attending please contact us at: flyingirishrunningclub@gmail.com The times we need people are approx. 6:30-9pm Saturday Sept 20th. It will be a lot of fun and plus you can join the after party of the Glow in the Park run.

Watch Where You Park!!

We get a bit of questions from time to time about where you can park for free. Did you know there is a map attached to the weekly email that highlights all the areas you can park and not have your car towed (right next to this post)? The Oxford Suites contacted us last week requesting that Flying Irish members do not park in their lot. If you do, you car will be towed. Please be respectful of the local businesses when you do park. There are plenty of free parking spots in the close area AND we are a running club after all so if you have to park a little further away you should be okay 🙂

Extra Singlets and Sweatshirts Available

If you have 33 or 50 runs with the Flying Irish but forgot to get on the preorder for the new singlets or the hoodie sweatshirts? We now have an assortment of each in a few of the sizes. Get yours by showing up to the run! First come, first served! $30/each
