Today, Shasta and I talk about RCTC and explain why someone, at any level of running experience, but especially those with specific time or distance goals, might be interested in joining the club. They are taking new members starting this summer. We also talk, and about the inaugural Rose City Mile, which is a one mile race happening on June 30, 2018 at Dunniway track in Southwest Portland. I ran the mile in high school, I wasn’t very good, but I have always been fascinated by the distance. Shasta and I contemplate the significance of this distance, and share a few reasons why this is such a great distance for any and all runners to truly see what they’re made. Even the very casual 5k beer runner will find this an exciting distance.
