Happy Birthday ARE
This month marks ten years since the birth of ARE.
Current members of the organization span the
spectrum of length of membership; we still have a
handful who became part of the group in its infancy, all
the way up to those who have just joined today.
Whether you joined the club before the member's page
existed or well after it was possible to sign-up for an
ARE van trip, we are joined by the central theme of the
organization's mission. And that driving force to provide
opportunity for us all to find a healthy lifestyle through
running propels us forward into our second decade.
The ARE currently has over 1200 members, and in its
first decade, more than 2,000 individuals have at some
time been members of the organization. Some have
attended over 1,000 club runs and events, and for
others, the October 2, 2012 "ARE Anniversary Run" will
be their first.
We hope that you enjoy this edition of Road and Trail
Talk Magazine featuring many submissions from club
members about their experiences as part of the
organization. There are also pictures that span the
years to remind us of where the club has been and to
see the direction that we continue to move in.
Have a great October and keep on running!
