Sports Saturdays: Tuesday and Thursday Runs at Goucher College

Saturday, March 16th, 2013 by WLOY Staff

Sometimes, it is better to actually participate in an athletic activity than just catch the highlights on ESPN. Sometimes, it is better to just try and meet some friends and run somewhere.

Yes, running, America’s Past Time….I mean, America’s…thing we should all do once and a while.

At Goucher College, every Tuesdays and Thursdays, the BRRC Club runs along the trails that surround Goucher. Goucher graciously allows for private individuals to coordinate with each other and take recreational runs together. Runs are mostly at night and it is often smart to check ahead of time to make sure their is a run going on.

Now, the event is perfect for all levels. Beginners will often be able to run with each other and as you get more comfortable, along with your body becoming more acclimated to long distance running, you can move up with the next level and so on.

It is a great way to relax and de-stress and happens to be on key days of the week when stress is at its maximum
