This can be picked up before or after the run at SingleSpeed, beginning at 5:00 PM. In the spirit of Global Running Day, we suggest running, walking, or biking to SingleSpeed! If you're driving, grab 4 of your friends to save space in the parking lot for others. Parking is also available on Scott Ave. bridge and the grassy lot across from SingleSpeed. If you park in the parking ramp at Fleet Feet, we will get you a validation ticket at SingleSpeed (This is about a 0.8 mi walk from SingleSpeed.). We can't wait to party with you!
