Running Club Marks 3rd Anniversary

They began with 4 friends meeting up at the high school to get in better shape. Three years later, the Westwood Gentlemen's Running Club has grown to over a dozen who meet year-round on Saturday mornings for a group run around Westwood. Today, 14 showed up for the 4 1/2 mile run (34-35 minutes) that concluded with a trip to Murph's Place in Norwood.

The group's motto is "Size Doesn't Matter..." referring to the choice of routes available. Sometimes people have injuries or can only run a "short" 2 1/2 miles, so they can continue around a loop to High Street instead of turning up Fox Hill. The Fox Hill route is 3 1/4 miles--"medium." And a backtrack along Gay St to Thatcher makes for a 4 1/4 mile loop--"large." There are also some informal "super-size" routes available...

The group meets at the high school track at 7am on Saturday mornings.
