UPCOMING EVENTS! 

The Nolensville Running Club will be conducting a FREE Couch to 5k program beginning Monday, April 22nd.  

This 8 week program will be designed to ease individuals who may have never run into the ability to complete the Change For A Chance 5k (3.1 miles) (http://changeforachance.org/) which will be held on Saturday, June 15th in Nolensville.

Participants will meet 3 times per week and will be mentored by several members of the Nolensville Running Club.  This program is ideal for anyone who has a desire to get fit, have fun and make some new friends!!

The initial meeting of our Couch to 5k program will be held at the Nolensville Town Hall at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 22nd.  At this time, we will provide information
about the program and answer any questions that you may have. Our first “official” training day will be Wednesday, April 24th at 6:30 pm from Town Hall.

As of today, the three days per week that we will meet will be Monday, Wednesday, and either Saturday or Sunday. The meeting times will be from 6:30 p.m to 7:30 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday.  Meeting times for the weekend training session will be determined within the next couple of weeks.

Inspirational words for those racing Tom King this weekend!!  They say great things come in small packages!! By the sounds of it we should have a large group of NRC runners representing our little town in this race.  Best of luck everyone.

For those looking for training miles.

Run and race happy NRC!!

Every Wednesday, NRC meets at 6:15 pm at Nolensville Town Hall.  If you have not joined us yet but have been thinking about it, make this week your week! We would love to see you.

 We run anywhere from 3 miles up to 7 and typically have 4 general pace groups represented which are 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 minute miles. Once each pace group assembles, the individuals in that group decide on mileage and a more specific pace that everyone prefers to run.  Scott always does a great job making sure that all newcomers have someone to run with!

 Post run we head to a local restaurant to eat as a group.  Here is our upcoming calendar.

3/6                   Amico’s

3/13                Mcdougal’s Chicken *NEW!
