Route #9

Remember just a couple months ago when it was sunny and bright? Now it's dark and cold out there. Just like how the Titans season seems to be going. This week is Route #9: Nissan Stadium – express your sadness, anger, or hope as we run around the home to your Tennessee Titans. Safety notes: Please be sure to cross 10th street at the stop-sign and crosswalk at 10th & Fatherland. The increase in density and parking on 10th has made visibility much more difficult – so we need you to be sure to stop at the stop sign, use the crosswalk, and absolutely not cross in the middle of the road. Check out the route map on Strava: https://www.strava.com/routes/8843009

We meet at the corner of 11th & Holly at 6pm. We run every Wednesday – rain or shine, hot or cold. You can READ HERE for more details on how our Wednesday night runs work. If you are a run/walker and/or want to get a head start, meet at 5:45pm and join our Lasty Nasty Group. Remember we share the roads with walkers, cyclists, and cars – please help us be good neighbors!

Holiday Party Next Week!

Our annual Holiday Party is set for NEXT Wednesday December 5th. We’ll have our normal run, then immediately afterward everyone is invited to join us at Smith & Lentz Brewing for some food, brews, and fun. We’ll have complimentary chili and vegan soup, and S&L will be offering a $1 discount on pints. Smith & Lentz is kid friendly! This is also a time where we get a list of our “members” and pay our bills. East Nasty is organized and recognized non-profit status under the umbrella of the Road Runners Club of America, and there are some dues associated with that along with our operations. So, if you consider yourself a part of East Nasty, we ask each of you to bring a suggested minimum donation of $10 to help us offset these costs. This allows us to keep doing all the things we do – such as offer free half and full marathon training, a free couch to 5k program, our big Post-Marathon Party, insurance for the club, etc. We may also have some East Nasty gear for sale if you are looking for Christmas gifts!
