Breaking News!! Fleet Feet just go WAY cooler!

 Fleet Feet Montclair and Just Jake's have teamed up to bring a whole new way for members of the community (young folk, old folk, lazy folk, active folk and just plain cool folk) to come together, meet people, have fun, run and eat with our monthly pub runs! Really? You can do all of that simultaneously? Yes! It is humanly possible to have an ounce of fun while running as long as it involves all of the above.

SO WHAT'S THE DEAL?

The FIRST MONDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 6:30 PM join us for a 3 mile run beginning and ending at Just Jake's (30 Park St, Montclair, NJ) followed by fun, food and drink(s) with friends in the backroom. You can run, jog, walk, skip, crawl, or do cartwheels if you'd like but you can't whine! Each month there will be a theme and/or some kind of game. Saaa-weeet! Maps and key bucket will be available. And No! Even though you'd love to trade your 83 'vette (Chevette that is) in for the beamer parked next to you, don't even think about it buddy!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS. SCHEDULE THESE DATES IN YOUR OUTLOOK. AND PLACE STICKY NOTE REMINDERS IN YOUR CAR/HOME.

Mar 5, Apr 2, May 7, Jun 4, Jul 2, Aug 6, Sep TBD since it is Labor Day Weekend, Oct 1, Nov 5, and Dec 3.

WHAT'S THIS MONTH'S THEME?

'GET LUCKY' sponsored by Brooks

Get warmed up for St. Patrick's Day with this early celebration run. Participants have multiple opportunities to get lucky with prizes, giveaways and more! Find out what you can win on our homepage.

WHO CAN ATTEND?

Anyone. You, your friend, brother/sister, co-worker, annoying office mate (on second thought, leave them at work), gf/bf, spouse, neighbor...as long as you have a heartbeat, like to run, or at least pretend to because you like eating/drinking more, then tag along. In all seriousness, this is meant to be a fun, social event where everyone can come out for a run, hang out and make new friends. We invite anyone from the recreational person who jogs once a week to the avid exerciser/runner.

DO I HAVE TO BREAK MY PIGGY BANK TO ATTEND?

No. Here's the breakdown:

• RUN = FREE
• FOOD = $12* for Pub Runner's Special of Salad, Pasta and Domestic Pint of Beer or Soda. After the run, give your life savings away and enjoy your last meal...until next month's pub run of course. Check out Just Jake's website for additional Monday night drink specials.
• FRIENDS AND FUN = PRICELESS

*includes tax/tip

IS AN RSVP REQUIRED?

Currently we are not sending out royal invitations with official notary stamps or seals, so NO. As our pub runs grow, we will potentially send event invites through Fleet Feet Montclair Facebook page or create a Facebook page dedicated to our pub runs.

RULES - These are NOT made to be broken.

1. All first timers MUST sign a waiver. We also ask for a sample of DNA, password, finger prints, secret handshake and oath...and sense of humor.

Fleet Feet and Just Jake's are not held responsible if you injure yourself.

2. You are running at your OWN risk.

Obstacles such as fast moving cars, curbs, hidden pot holes, flying squirrels, and trees that jump out have been seen along the route.

3. RUN AGAINST TRAFFIC AND DO NOT JAYWALK!

No matter how tough you are, chances are the car will be tougher.

4. You MUST wear REFLECTIVE GEAR or headlamp/flashlight during winter months.

It's for YOUR SAFETY! And because we like you.

5. TIP your server!

If you choose drinks or food other than the $12 Pub Runner's Special, please be kind. Remember they are probably clocking more miles running around for you than we did.

6. Don't be anti-social!

Leave the head phones, iPhone, Facbook, Blackberry, Strawberry, Chocolate, I'm too cool attitude and frowns at home. The purpose of the run is to be social and that's it. Try to meet a new friend each run.

7. Can I bring my dog?

As much as we love our neighborhood Lassie, we prefer you not. It poses safety issues for the other runners.
