Lumberton 5k – June 8th

My son Kamran (Coal Mine) and I plan to run a 5k in Lumberton the morning of Saturday June 8 (you can also walk).  These community races are a lot of fun, support good causes, and are good motivation to train.  It’s also fun to compete – reminds me of when I was younger and was an actual athlete:

1st Annual NJ F3 Convergence – June 22nd, 7am

Attention F3 Princeton PAX!   

Saturday, June 22nd at 7 am will be the 1st Annual NJ F3 Convergence, titled the 1st Annual NJ F3 Convergence- Summer Solstice at the Jersey Shore, location tentative but looking like Avon by the Sea.  

I am requesting that we cancel all of our local Saturday workouts and get as MANY guys as possible to go down the shore. 

The plan is for 1.5 hour workout, (various Q’s from the different regions).

Coffeeteria will follow. 

Please SAVE The DATE!  

You could bring family and enjoy a day down the Jersey shore after the workout or come solo!

Blue Ridge Relay 2024 – 9/5 to 9/9

To all runner pax!
The one and only spectacular Blue Ridge Relay is back on this year and Lowe’s is recruiting team members for 9 man team. Maybe if there is a lot of interest and commitments plans can change to 12 man team, not sure.


There are spots available, regardless.
Dates: depart for VA Sept 5, return from NC Sept 9.

Please reach out to DC and myself.
If you have done this before – BRR is your race, if you have always thought about it but have not tried – it is an experience to remember!

🚨 Beatdown Safety Reminders 🚨

“As a follow-up, I would like to request all workouts start out with DiCCS as developed by F3 Waxhaw.  This is a regular start at all workouts of F3 The Frontier (New Providence.)” https://coda.io/d/Stuff-Worth-Trying_dt9MwveNe4u/Safety_su8L3

Disclaimer – Is the disclaimer given before every F3 workout by the workout leader or site Q?
Cell Phone on your Body? Does at least one Pax have a cell phone with them during the workout?
CPR Certified? Does at least one Pax know CPR at each AO and preferably at each workout?
Site-Specific Safety? What else is/has your Region and AOs doing/done to ensure safety is prioritized and plans are in place?
