Wednesday March 1 - Two Tennessee Traditions: Titans and Volunteers
Route #9
This week we visit the home of your Tennessee Titans on Route #9 – Nissan Stadium - aka 'LP Field', and 'The Coliseum' before that. We meet at the corner of 11th & Holly at 6pm. We run every Wednesday – rain or shine. If you are a run/walker and want to get a head start, meet at 5:45pm and join the Lasty Nasties. You can READ HERE for more info on how our Wednesday night runs work. Daylight Savings Time is only a few weeks away (yay!), but as it's still dark be sure to wear something that creates or reflects light.
Calling All Volunteers! It’s not too late to sign up!
Did you miss last week’s Volunteer Night? No worries! There’s still plenty of time (and plenty of opportunities) to get involved as a volunteer. For the next 3 Wednesday nights we will have sign-up forms available at the run OR you can use this link to enter your information online.
What are the different volunteer opportunities? Glad you asked.
