Good Afternoon CHRC Friends!
🎉 Fun Run & Happy Hour 🎉
To celebrate the 250th Birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps and making it halfway through your MCM training program, we’re hosting a special 2.50-mile “Fun Run” and Happy Hour on Wednesday, July 30th! (Use this link to mark your calendar now!)
We will start and finish at The Brig! Start time is scheduled for 6:30 pm. We are going to kick off right at 6:30 pm so come a few minutes early! Come out and bring any of your friends! After the run, stick around for a drink. Ray Celeste has generously offered a small tab, so grab a cold beer or beverage of your choice and enjoy some time with fellow CHRC friends.
We will also have some local industry at the Brig! Dr. Nicole Kruger, a local physical therapist and running consultant, will join us. She specializes in spine and sports care, as well as manual therapy.
**Do not worry, our regular programming runs will continue this week. This is just an additional fun run!**
