Day/Time for Training:
Beginning Runners meet every Monday evening. Training begins promptly at 6:30pm, however please arrive early as we often have guest speakers or announcements prior to training.
Training Location:
We train in the grassy area on the south side of Walnut Grove Road at the stoplight at Farm Road.
Parking:
Please park in the BMX track parking lot on Walnut Grove Road. After parking, walk to the training area located in the grassy space on the south side of Walnut Grove Road at the Farm Road stoplight.
How to Find It:
The BMX track is located on the south side of Walnut Grove Road between the Shelby Farms entrance stoplight (to the east) and the Wolf River Bridge (to the west).
Traffic Tip:
If you’re traveling west on Walnut Grove Road, the left turn lane into the parking lot often backs up. It may be easier to drive past the entrance, take the Humphreys Rd. exit, turn left to head back east on Walnut Grove, and then make a right turn into the parking lot.
