Letter From The President - Sept 2020

It’s hard to believe we are into September and six months have passed since all our lives have been turned upside down. In the beginning of the pandemic, running was one of the few outlets we had which drew many people back to the sport or got them started for the first time. But then all our races were canceled or made virtual and we had to come up with crazy ways to utilize our fitness we’d been working on all spring and summer. Now, heading into fall there are a few races here and there but nothing like we are used to, and travel isn’t always an option. That’s why we’re very excited to bring three great trail races to all of southeast South Dakota starting on September 12th. Check out our new website with links to the SF Run Club Trail Race Series registration pages and all the information you’ll need. If you have any questions after reading through the registration pages, please reach out and I’d be glad to help. 

If you reading this, you’ll notice we have an updated website! This is because of the hard work by Ryan Otto, who built the whole thing for the Run Club on his own time. My appreciation for his time and efforts cannot be put into words. It’s the dedication and willingness to give back, that Ryan, Kristi Wire (who created our new logos), and all of our Board Members, that keep our organization functioning at a high level and enable us to bring you social events, kids cross country races, group runs, trail races, and best of all, community. I want to thank everyone who has given back to the Run Club in the past and I encourage you to keep giving, to keep our running community thriving for years to come!

Thanks and we’ll see you on the trails!
