RUNNERS
AND WALKERS!
Announcements
We will not have a regular meeting at Drayson Center on Sunday, February 5 so we can all attend the Surf City Half Marathon,
which is on the training schedule for both our Marathon and Half
Marathon program. We hope that everyone who wishes to attend has
already registered, since both the Marathon and Half Marathon are sold
out. See you there!
The past two issues of the Lopergram are now available on our newsletter page. We apologize for the delay in making these available online.
Drayson
Center has informed us that from now on, Lopers will need to have their
membership tag in order to enter the Gym on Sundays. Most of us
keep it on our shoe or key ring. If you lost your tag, members
can get a replacement on Sundays at the desk by the main entrance.
There is a small charge for replacement tags, so please don't lose them!
The Lopers Banquet will be at 6PM on Sunday, April 1. Please save the
date! Come and celebrate your accomplishments this year! If you would
like to help with the banquet, please let us know.

About
the Lopers
The
Lopers Club has something to
offer everyone interested
in improving their fitness through walking, jogging, or running. From
the
slowest beginning walker to the fastest experienced runners, we provide
training geared to all fitness levels. We meet each Sunday
morning
at 6:30 at the Drayson Center
on the campus
of Loma Linda University and hope to have a suitable meeting place in
the city of Riverside sometime during the coming year.
The
Lopers Club is one of the
largest running and fitness
club in Southern California, with over 700 members.
One
of the main activities of the
Lopers' Club is to train
walkers, runners, or joggers to complete their first full 26.2 mile
marathon
or 13.1 mile half marathon each year. Nearly 100% of the Lopers who
enter our training Marathon
or Half Marathon finish it! See our clinic
announcement page for more information.
We
also offer our members the
opportunity to train with
our Lopers speed group, which meets at the Drayson
Center Tuesday night as indicated
above. The Lopers speed group is for veteran
runners
of any speed who wish to improve their running speed.
