Hi y’all,

It’s here, it’s here! The start of a new season. Whether this is your very first time to train for a half or full marathon or the hundredth, we are so honored that you chose to train with PARR. We know as leaders we are biased, but we think we have something special going!

We are kicking off the season with tacos on Saturday! We’re meeting at the big pavilion at Pearland Town Center at 8 a.m. There is NO RUN on this day (the last Saturday for a nice long while with no early morning run!). Please bring a chair with you if you don’t want to stand. This event will last approximately an hour. We’ll go over the schedule and details about safety, water, routes, etc. You’ll also get to meet your group leader and fellow pace group peeps.

If you are on Facebook, you can find the event here:

If you are not on Facebook, please send an email to PearlandAreaRoadRunners@gmail.com to confirm your attendance.

We ask that you let us know by Wednesday if you are planning to attend. NO RSVP? NO TACOS!!! For budgetary reasons, we ask that this remain a members only event.

Several of you have asked for it, and it’s finally ready! The running and walking schedules have been posted here: https://goparr.com/schedules/

You will need to log in to access this section of the website.

The schedules will also be posted in our members only Facebook group. Not a member yet? Click here to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/246625075376797/

PLEASE NOTE: we will NOT be providing printed copies of the schedule at the kick-off this year. You are welcome to print and bring it with you on Saturday, although not necessary.

The training schedule begins on Monday, July 22. Our first supported Saturday run will be on Saturday, July 27. More information about location and start time will go out in next week’s email.

We’re bringing back our #PARRPresentations this season, and we’re starting with an important topic – NUTRITION! Join us on Facebook Live or in store at Wild Pear Running on Monday, July 22 at 7 p.m. with our resident nutritionist (and PARR member) Lisa Ferrara.

This email is being sent only to those who have joined or renewed as of Monday, July 15. So it’s a good idea to ask your fellow running peeps if they have renewed their membership. If they didn’t receive this email, they likely have not renewed. The same is true for the Facebook group. We are removing those who haven’t renewed. Please understand that this is for the safety of our members.

See y’all Saturday!
