Wanted: Graphic Designer for our Club Logo

Any running club members happen to know a graphic designer who might be willing to donate or give away their services for very little change in order to help us with our logo? The sources we've tried have not panned out. We'd be happy to write up a recommendation or put a link to their site on ours as advertising.

We have an idea of what we want, and even some pictures to start from, but no final logo to print on our T-shirts. Looking for a 2 color logo with our club name on it, in printable and sizable JPG format.

Send an email to mebanerunning@gmail.com if you have any suggestions.

Saturday morning - longer run question

We have quite a few runners training for long events right now. In light of this, do we want to consider having two start times so that we can all finish (and socialize) within 30 minutes of each other?

  • Would people running over 6-7 miles be interested in running at 7am and then possibly swinging by Espressions at 7:30am to join up with those running 2-5 miles?
  • Let us know your thoughts - Comment below or send an email to the usa.net account.

Either way, anyone up for 7 miles on Saturday the 2nd?

See everyone on Saturday at 7:30am. Remember, new runners always welcome!

NEW LOCATION!

Due to the recent closure of Sweet Tooth Heaven in downtown Mebane, the Mebane Running Club is moving its starting location.

We will meet at Espressions Coffee House near Food Lion at 620 N 1st Street in Mebane. This will be for a trial basis while we evaluate if the location meets the needs of the club. Regular time...7:30am.

See you there and happy running!
