1.) Last Call -- Group Run on Tuesday 2.22!

The next SF Runs community group run will be on Tuesday, February 22 at 6:00 pm. This run will start and finish at the Exploratorium and all paces are welcome. Advance registration is required. Learn more and register via Eventbrite here.

2.) $50 Discount on Run Coaching with Perform

I'm working for Perform, a new online service that provides runners of all backgrounds with a personal running coach to help them achieve their goals.

When you sign-up with Perform you are matched with a certified running coach who will learn about your running background and goals, and then develop a training plan specifically for you.

Your running coach will follow-up with you regularly to provide positive encouragement, help you stay on track, and update your training plan as needed.

The standard price for Perform is $89/month, but is $39/month for the first three months for the SF Runs community. Enter discount code "sfruns" during checkout to receive this savings. Click here to learn more and sign-up.

3.) Fundraiser for Running for a Better Oakland

Running for a Better Oakland (RBO), a nonprofit organization which provides running programs for Oakland students, could use our help. A GoFundMe was launched earlier this week to raise funds for repairs to RBO's van, which is essential to the operation of their program. You can learn more and donate via this link.

4.) Run through North Beach at the Statuto Race! (June)

Registration is now open for the101st edition of the Statuto Race -- the only race in San Francisco that starts and finishes in North Beach! There are awards for top finishers, a raffle for all participants, and an optional bottomless mimosa brunch after the race. The event features an 8K run and 2 mile walk.
