The Fog Dodgers invite all residents and visitors of the Mendocino Coast to join us on our weekly group runs and walks. We have runners and walkers of all abilities (and even some bikers) and we have only one "rule" - we start at exactly 8:00 a.m. on Sundays. Exercise at your own pace (1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back) and experience the fresh Mendocino coastal air.

Fog Dodgers provides a fun, safe way to explore some of our local trails and back roads and to meet new friends. You can find out where we're going to be by reading the bottom of last week's post, then clicking on the "Our Routes" tab above. We average 15-20 persons each Sunday and typically half will go to breakfast together afterwards at a nearby restaurant.

Seventh Annual Bin-2-Bin Run and Walk

The clouds parted, the sun came out, it was about 52 degrees and just a very slight breeze.  Seemed just right for a morning run or walk.  And, it was!  We had a nice group of happy people, including Nancy Severi, who manages the Food Bank.  Nancy took our photo just before the 8:00 a.m. start and who knows, it may show up in the Advocate News!

It was our Seventh Annual Bin-2-Bin Run/Walk, done to have fun and to help out the Food Bank.  We ran and walked to each of our grocery stores, bought a couple of food items and then deposited them in the Food Bank's bins as we left the stores.  The runners visited Harvest and Safeway twice and Purity once.  Walkers visited Harvest twice and Safeway once.  This was our Seventh Annual Bin-2-Bin and it grows a bit each year.   It started out as an actual race but now we just have fun!
