Hello ORC,
Announcing a new running club, well really they have been running for a little while. Zachary Ross sent me an email to let runners know of the Grant Park Running Club. They run on Monday mornings and here is Zachary’s email…
Hey Neighbors,
I just wanted to let area runners know about a new running club that has recently formed in the Grant Park area. We call ourselves the Grant Park Running Club. We're an informal group of neighbors who decided that our area needed a running club that was local, convenient, and most importantly, fun. We meet every Monday morning at 6am at the south end of the Grant Park parking lot along Boulevard. Most running clubs in Atlanta meet on the weekends, but we thought there was a need for group runs during the week, so we put one together!
We have runners who are just starting all the way to runners who have run multiple marathons. The Monday morning runs are 4-5 miles at a 10-11 minute/mile pace. We will form more running groups for different speeds and different days as we progress. But most importantly this group is committed to having fun while doing something healthy. For more information, check out our website here:

Please come out and join us next Monday at 6am. Just look for the sign (Grant Park Running Club). We'll see you then!

I’m a fan of neighborhood running groups. I am going to start posting the ones that I know of onto the ORC site. So far I have Cabbagetown, Grant Park, and Candler Park. Anyone know of others?
On Saturday, there is the Winter Beer Carnival happening at Spring Street. And not to be outdone on Sunday is the 2nd Annual Atlanta Winter Wine and Jazz Festival at the Georgia Freight Depot.
This Saturday is the Run The Reagan race(s). There are actually a couple of races being ran from a Half to a Mile. It’s all along the Ronald Reagan Parkway in Snellville. Depending on where you turn around, that’s how far the race is. And also, that’s how many hills you have to take on. On Sunday is the Locomotive Thunder in Kennesaw.
This Wednesday you will be running route 8, the East Lake Golf Course run. The link to the route is at the bottom of this e- mail. It's one of the oldest as in longest running routes I know of for the group. It's dark out there so wear something reflective and/or something flashing. After the run, it's off to Mojo's Pizza for food, drinks and trivia.
Thanks for making the Oakhurst Running Club one of the friendliest running club in Atlanta.
