By water coolers nationwide, running routes are being discussed in place of gossip as workers and runners plan for this year s 4th Annual RRCA National Run to Work Day on Friday, September 15, 2000. Individuals and groups of runners will be heading out to run alongside the usual bumper to bumper traffic in a united demonstration that getting to work does not have to mean getting stuck in traffic.
Participants handle the logistics of the event in a number of different ways.
Some are lucky enough to have showers at work. Others just sponge off after arriving at the office. Wearing reflective gear, dropping off a change of clothes at the office the day before, and incorporating public transportation are common aspects of the event. Explaining to your co-workers that you haven t gone nuts might be the greatest challenge. Runners have found that combining their run and their commute to work saves them time and allows them to get in those weekly miles.
