Beyond The Finish Run Club (beyond_the_finish) : Member Profile : Thoos

Faith/Christian based running club established through a local church running club ministry. We began group running and training in August of 2003 with only 8 runners. We are happy to say we have been blessed with a contact list of over 40 runners from alot of surrounding communities/cities.

We train for all types of races including 1/2 marathons, marathons, short distance races and trail runs.

We have great accountability with our groups and strive to be an encouragement at each event we participate in.

2005 will mark our second annual benefit 5k in Grant County, Marion, Indiana. Each year we serve our community by donating 90 percent of our proceeds to a not-for-profit organization that helps those in need. This year we are having our Run for the Son 5k run/walk on August 6th benefiting CASA of Grant County (a court advocacy program for children in abuse, neglect and custody issues. CASA is a volunteer program that speaks for the child in the court system.)

Our webpage should be up and running sometime in April, 2005.

Contact Connie Gamble at 765.384.7109 for more information.

We meet every Tuesday at 5 and Saturdays at 8 (Saturday being our long run day) at our local park mostly (Matter Park in Marion) or at pre-arranged running places in our surrounding communities.

In dryer weather we trail run at Mississinewa camp ground occassionally.
