| Roasters Run - Group run Distance: 2 to 20 Miles Location : Falmouth, ME: Maine Roasters Coffee, Rt. 1 Contact : Sandy Walton @ Maine Track Club Address : P.O. Box 8008 City : Portland State : ME Zip : 04104 Country : USA Phone : Fax : Website : www.mainetrackclub.com Email : swalton2@maine.rr.com Additional Info : This is a great opportunity to discover the social aspects of running! All ability levels are welcome! Every Saturday morning (come rain, shine, or blizzard!), a group of about two dozen runners and walkers get together in the parking lot of Maine Roasters Coffee on Route 1 in Falmouth for informal distance runs. Runners of all skills and abilities come out and group themselves based on pace (ranging from 7:00-12:00 pace), and then go out for runs ranging from 2-20 miles through Falmouth and Portland. The courses are well laid out, and a map of individual routes by mileage are available at the start of each group run and on the MTC web site, www.mainetrackclub.com. The runners congregate back at Maine Roasters Coffee after finishing to continue discussions or to get a cup of Joe to go. The runs are very informal, with the only formality being that they always start at “exactly” 7:00AM all year long. This is an especially great way to train for the marathon distance... running in the company of friends. Not a Saturday has been missed since its inception on March 6, 2004! |
