Welcome to Merry Miles VII This is our annual December FREE fun event where we encourage you to be active in a busy month to maintain your health. This event was designed for participation from all types of people, from walkers to runners, adults to kids. You are able to record miles by walking, running, indoors or outdoors, or on an elliptical. It is all on the honor system if say you did it, I will believe you! That is why there are tiers, so the walkers that may earn only 1 or 2 chances will not feel like the higher mileage people who have 3 or 4 or even more chances in the basket will win all the prizes. This is to motivate you during what would be a busy time of the year. So, you can get your miles in the outdoors or indoors on a track or even treadmill, and even elliptical. About the only way we are not counting miles is by bike. This year we will again use a shared spreadsheet on "googlesheets". (Yes, there is an app for your phone). Once we get closer, I will email everyone a link to the sheet. If you are not able to figure out how to use it, you can report to me your miles and I will enter them for you. To explain the process a little more… report your miles you walk, run, got on a treadmill, track, or elliptical and watch your mileage climb. You don’t need to show me proof of your miles (unless you are that proud to get that many, then send them to me I will cheer you on), if you say you did them, then I will believe you. When you reach 25k (15.53 miles) your name will be entered on the wheel of names, when you reach 50k (31.06 miles) your name will go on a second time, then another at 75k (46.6 miles) and again another ticket at 100k (62.13 miles) and so on. Since we had some that really racked up the miles last few years, a 3rd tier was added. That tier being over 200k (124.27 miles), 225k (139.81 miles), and 250k (155.34 miles). I have been able maintain a 70% chance of winners in each tier but the prizes may have a few that are valued being higher. The "Top Earner" will be drawn to win automatically for the one with the most miles in 1 month. List of prizes will be numbered and the number drawn is their prize. To be fair to the ones that do not get high miles, 50k and under will be in one tier with either 1 or 2 tickets, ones with under 200k will have 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 tickets in another tier and ones with 200k and higher will have 8, 9, or 10 chances in 3rd tier. This was determined to be the fairest so the ones doing a mile a day won’t feel like they would not win since they didn’t have enough tickets. We wanted them to feel like they had as much chance as anyone. The difference is the prizes in basket “B” may be larger than basket “A” and basket “C” may be larger than “B”, but your chances of winning if in basket “A” or “B” should be just as good. Again, we will have bonus days (double of the reported miles). Knowing people will be the busiest Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, any miles you get those days will double. Just enter your normal miles in the column and the adjoining column will duplicate what you put in, doubling your miles. So, if you get 2 miles Christmas Eve, put in 2 and the sheet will add an additional 2 miles. This can help some reach the next tier or make up some ground if they fell behind because something prevented them from getting miles another day. This year the social committee will also be hosting a FREE Christmas Light fun run. You will be able to TRIPLE your miles that day for the ones that show up to run OR socialize. But must make an appearance to triple your miles. This is all in fun and hopes that people are motivated to get a few miles recorded on a couple of days that is usually occupied with other priorities. Once you win a prize your name is removed as we want to see more winners. At this time, we had a few donated items, and a few entries into the 2027 Run the Path 10k just to name a few prizes. You will have until 4JAN2027 to report your miles, so I have time to figure out the tiers and mark the names. Then at the January 2027 SRRL board meeting we will draw for the prizes. Make sure your 2027 membership is renewed by 19JAN2027 to be eligible to win as this is a free event for club members only. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. Enjoy, have fun, and get out and stay active! Thank you for participating. Your SRRL Social Committee

Offerings for all ability levels, our winter only training is ideal for citizen racers and outdoor enthusiasts who are looking to benefit from the extensive ski experience of our coaches. Regardless of your area of interest – racing, cross-training, or recreational skiing – your fitness and ability as a skier will improve. All fall/winter programs include dryland, technique work, and strength training. The winter sessions are meant to be exclusively skiing, but flexibility is necessary due to uncertain snow/weather conditions. Participants are required to purchase their own trail pass for the the training venue utilized.

The GBP Trail Series will help keep you outdoors and active during the winter months while exposing you to some of the most beautiful (and runnable) trails in New Mexico. Races are held every third Saturday for the months of December through February with a post series social/celebration after the February race. There is also a noncompetitive virtual option if you still want to get out but not in the crowds. The virtual option does not require you to run/hike the course at the preserve, just complete the distance to earn you a finishers award. One of the greatest benefits of participating in this event (other than keeping yourself fit) is that your entry fee is essentially a donation to Commonweal Conservancy who has protected and continues to steward the over 41 miles of trails and 10,000 acres of land in the Galisteo Basin Preserve that we all enjoy. That is right, 100% of the profits go to Commonweal Conservancy and the series has raised $65,194.58 since its inception! For full race details, past results, etc, please visit the race website (this is just a registration page).

We recognize Dec. 13 as the birthday of the National Guard. On this date in 1636, the first militia regiments in North America were organized in Massachusetts. Come on and join in honoring this historic event, patriotic organization, and all those who have and are currently serving. This virtual event won't cost you a dime, just a little of your time. Complete the 16.36-kilometer (walk/run/hike/bike/whatever) and log your time on the honor system back here on the website. For those of you wanting a slightly different challenge, you can tackle this same event, but do the 10.166-mile flavor ;-).

Worried about packing on the pounds during the holiday season? Put down the eggnog and go chase some reindeer. This virtual event won't cost you a dime, just a little of your time. Complete the 5-kilometer event (walk/run/hike/bike/whatever) and log your time on the honor system back here at the website. For those of you in wanting a slightly different challenge, you can tackle this same event, but do the 3.1-mile flavor ;-).

💚 ALAS SIN LÍMITES 5K — Virtual 5K for Cerebral Palsy 💚 “No matter how differently we travel the journey, we can all reach the finish line.” ♿🏃‍♀️💚 Alas Sin Límites 5K was born from a mother’s heart and the immense love she has for her daughter, and it extends to every child, teen, adult, and family living with cerebral palsy. This virtual 5K is about more than running—it is about inclusion, love, strength, hope, and raising awareness. We run for those who can run, walk for those who can walk, push a wheelchair for those who need our legs, and move forward together for those who face challenges every day that many people never get to see. My daughter is part of the inspiration that brought this event to life, but this race is for EVERYONE affected by cerebral palsy. 💚 Each participant will complete 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) in their own way—running, walking, jogging, using a wheelchair, or alongside someone completing the distance with them. Here, time does not determine the winner. The true victory is reaching the finish line together. Every kilometer represents visibility, every medal represents strength, and every participant helps remind the world that a disability never diminishes the value of a life. 💚 5 kilometers. Thousands of stories. One cause. ALAS SIN LÍMITES 5K — For them. With them. Together to the finish line. ♿🏅💚

On October 14, 2020 our Montana running family lost a treasured friend and invaluable supporter. Tony Banovich, Race Director for the Missoula Marathon and Executive Director of Run Wild Missoula was kind, generous, and encouraging of all, welcoming countless new runners over the years. He was deeply dedicated to both Missoula and Montana running communities. In 2021 this in-person event challenged participants to run or walk 4.35 miles – the average daily distance of Tony’s 1,731 day run streak – while raising funds for the Tony Banovich Memorial Fund, furthering Tony's legacy of supporting running and walking throughout Missoula and Montana. We are pleased to continue this Memorial run as a virtual option to participants through the month of December. The original course included a little roads, tracks, and trails in and around Playfair Park. You are welcome to run this route or choose your own adventure to celebrate Tony's life and legacy on the 4.35 mile route that suits you. The virtual event will continue to raise funds for the Tony Banovich Memorial Fund.

GENTLE | Softening Into Support | 5–6:15 p.m. Thursdays Fewer postures, slower transitions, and no repeated chaturanga/cardio sequence create more spaciousness to sense, explore mobility, build strength, and notice the subtleties of our experience. Gentle doesn't mean no challenge. We'll still play (emphasis on play!) with engagement, balance, and progression—because nervous-system flexibility isn't about avoiding activation. Instead, we’ll explore what can soften when we know we are supported—and how much effort is actually enough for this moment. FLOW | Responsive Strength | 6:30–7:45 p.m. Thursdays Flow brings more movement, transitions, cardiovascular engagement, and progressive builds—with opportunities to explore strength, balance, more complex expressions of poses, and the option of a peak pose (or two!). But the invitation is never simply to achieve the "advanced" pose. This series, we’ll explore strength without unnecessary rigidity: Can I meet challenge, respond to what my body is telling me, and use enough effort without automatically reaching for more? Both practices will continue to include optional hands-on assists, as well as our end-of-practice ritual many of you already know: savasana with optional hands-on occipital release (with or without essential oils) and end-of-the-series hot towel ritual (now more often with our slightly shorter series!). Because letting go isn't the absence of effort. Sometimes it is discovering that we don't need more effort than this moment requires. And receiving support is part of the practice, too.

Welcome to Saved Not Soft’s Challenge #3, the “110-Mile Challenge”! Complete 110 miles in the month of December and receive a custom coin! Miles must be completed via: - Walking - Running - Hiking - Rucking These must be exercise miles. Example: I do no exercise on a random Wednesday. But I walked 8,000 cumulative steps around the house and at work on said Wednesday, and my Garmin says I moved a total of 4 miles. These 4 miles do not count. The mileage must be a logged exercise. The price is $20, and that’s simply to cover the cost of the coin! Also, please feel free to tag @saved_not_soft on Instagram or @saved.not.softt on TikTok for a shoutout; or DM on these pages with any questions or concerns!

It is all on the honor system if say you did it, we will believe you! That is why there are tiers, so the walkers that may earn only 1 or 2 chances will not feel like the higher mileage people who have 3 or 4 or even more chances in the basket will win all the prizes. This is to motivate you during what would be a busy time of the year. So, you can get your miles in the outdoors or indoors on a track or even treadmill, and even elliptical. About the only way we are NOT counting miles is by bike. We will use a shared spreadsheet on "Google Sheets". (There is an app for your phone). Once we get closer, we will email everyone a link to the sheet. If you are not able to figure out how to use it, please reach out to crccontactus@gmail.com and we will work with you. The Process: Input miles completed on your named tab in the google spreadsheet (preferably daily or at least every few days) ALL MILES MUST BE INPUT BY MONDAY JAN 4, 2027 For every 15miles, your name will be put in for a raffle prize We will do the raffles during the first monthly meeting of 2027 Tiers Tier One - Under 30miles Tier Two - 30.01miles-124miles Tier Three - Above 124miles *Top earner from each Tier will automatically win a prize **You can only win once** Bonus Days and Points!

We put love into motion through dance and education scholarships, hardship support, acts of kindness, mental health initiatives, and community outreach. Every day, we strive to turn compassion into action and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. The Love in Motion Walk/Run is an opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate someone special, honor the life and legacy of someone we’ve lost, or celebrate someone whose light continues to shine in our lives. Because love doesn’t end when someone is gone. And it doesn’t have to wait for a special occasion to be celebrated. Love lives on in the memories we carry, the people we cherish, and the kindness we give to others. As you walk or run, you’ll have the opportunity to submit the name of a loved one—someone you’ve lost or someone whose prese
