SF Runs Newsletter - October 2022

Hello runners,

The fall season is a popular time for local races and you'll find links to more than 30 events this month in this edition of the SF Runs newsletter. You'll also find a survey where you can provide feedback on future SF Runs programs & services, and information on a free online marathon racing workshop. Thanks and happy running!

1.) SF Runs Survey

SF Runs is currently conducting a survey to obtain feedback that will inform future SF Runs programs and services (such as group runs). This survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete. If you'd like to provide your feedback, click here for the survey.

2.) Last Call for "Run Your Best Fall Marathon" Online Workshop (10/4)

If you're planning to run a fall marathon, I'll be moderating a free online panel offered by Perform featuring racing tips and strategies from experienced coaches and marathoners, including pro runner Colin Bennie, who finished 7th at the Boston Marathon in 2021. This event will be this Tuesday at noon Pacific. Registration is available here via Eventbrite.
