Join us for the Red River Road Runners Annual Club Picnic and Meeting (of course, there will also be a 5k!). **This is a FREE event for 2026 paid club members.** We're going old school! What does that mean? Bring a blanket, chairs and, maybe, some bug spray 🙂 The 5k will begin promptly at 5:45pm on Thursday, May 14th from Betty Virginia Park. After the run meet us in the back of the park where club members are asked to stay for a club meeting, in which board members will be voted in (to begin at 6:45pm). Immediately upon completion of voting of the new board, we will present awards to the newest Fanatics! While your waiting on the meeting to start, grab dinner or a snack from club members at Chantli Tamalli by Moxy that will be on-site (You will be responsible for your own food purchases) and enjoy the outdoors with your friends and family! Plan to hang out...just like last year, it will be a blast! **Please make sure you are logged in to runsignup when registering for the Annual Picn
