This week we will be running an all new Signature Run. The route goes through the West Central neighborhood so there will be plenty of shade on what is supposed to be a hot and sunny day.
We are also celebrating Bloom’s Day, which is a celebration of the life and works of the Irish writer James Joyce. The day takes its name from the protagonist, Leopold Bloom, in Joyce’s 1922 classic Ulysses. Participants of Bloomsday often dress up in boaters, bonnets, or bustles. If you don’t have anything lying around, rock an old Bloomsday race shirt!
When: Thursday, June 18th
Time: 6:00pm
Where: Uprise Brewing (617 N. Ash St)
Route: The Signature Run

Whether you dress up or are just coming for the run, we hope to see you there!
