RCGC Run@Work Day Recap
A few of us showed up on a Friday evening for Run@Work Day at Burnett Woods in Cincinnati.The purpose of National Run@Work Day is to promote physical activity and healthy living through running or walking. Running clubs, events, company-based wellness programs, human resources departments, and individuals nationwide are encouraged to plan fun runs and/or walks with their employers throughout the United States. RCGC Vice President Laura Wagner led the runners on run through Burnett Woods up through the UC Campus to see the students move in for the upcoming year and other happenings around campus and to Bellevue Hill Park for an almost sunset view of downtown Cincinnati. We headed back to the bandstand via William Howard Taft and Clifton Avenue, passing the fountain and some off road running in Burnett Woods.
Afterwards, the club provided water, pop, beer, fruit with either caramel or cream cheese dip, and chocolate chip cookies(just like the DoubleTree Hotel) for post run refreshment. Thanks to Laura for leading the runners and making sure that all got back to Burnett Woods safely.
If you were unable join us, hopefully, you were able to get out with a friend, coworker, or family member for a 35-minute run or walk.
