Defiance Running Club reports its members have logged 859,266.8 kilometers in running since the club’s inception. Including cycling, the club is approaching a combined total of 1,000,000 kilometers. Top contributors include Brian Horrobin with 47,614 km, Bryan Cowden with 38,829 km, and Joe Perry with 37,219 km.
The club will launch its Couch to 5K program on Tuesday, April 7. The updated program offers a gentler pace compared to previous sessions and is free to participants. Organizers emphasize that speed is not the goal; the focus is on 20 to 30 minutes of sustained movement to improve fitness and longevity.
“Sweat a little, laugh a lot and help improve your longevity odds by joining Defiance,” said club representative Mark Childs. “If you can walk, you can jog, if you can jog, you can run. Time moving is your goal.”
For more information or questions, participants can contact Childs at 519-784-3341 or send a message to the club.
