The Nebraska-Omaha chapter will be hosting a run at Mahoney State Park in Ashland, NE at 9:30am on 2 June (Saturday). The Omaha World-Herald will be there to get some video of barefoot/minimalist runners, and would like to interview people about their experiences if possible. I've spoken to them already, and they are very interested to see as many people as possible come out. If not, my VP and I will have to be especially interesting.
This is our first exposure with the media, and we're viewing it as a real chance not only to educate the general public, but also to gain some interest with the chapter.
If you'd like to join us, please let me know by responding to this thread. If the time doesn't work, please say so and we'll see if we can readjust (the two people going thus far are flexible). Would definitely love to see anyone from the surrounding chapters join us if you're interested! Thank you everyone!
**Meet at the Activity Center (see map below)** Please be there no later than 9:15am!
That way we can do meet/greet, sign waivers, etc before stepping off at 9:30am. Activity Center is straight after the entry gate, up the hill. Parking on the right.
DAY PASS INFO:
Mahoney requires a pass to gain access to the park. Day passes are $5, annual passes are $25.
