Looking for "Movers"

I believe it's time to start (or join with) a walking/running/moving forward club here in Siloam Springs. I have found where there might have been one about a year or more ago, but I can't find anything recent. Does anyone out there know of any active running clubs here? By running, let me say that I personally include pretty much anything from walking to "really" running. I myself sometimes walk, sometimes run, sometimes mix the two together, but NEVER go anywhere quickly.

Perhaps we should call what I am looking for a "moving forward" club! I'd like to have a group (or groups) of people meet at least a couple of times a week to make a run/walk/crawl together at least once or twice a week. What do you say? Anyone out there interested? Do you know of existing clubs?

Please get in touch if you have any ideas, input, or interest in this concept.

Moving forward,
Melanie

UPDATE: Here are some great ideas for names for our new group. Many thanks to a very creative group out there, and you know who you are! What do YOU like most?
  • Step On It
  • The Road Runners
  • The Ramblers
  • The Walkingsticks
  • Soles with Souls
  • Happy Feet
  • Sager Creek Cruisers
  • Trekkers
  • Dogwood Striders
  • J-Walkers
  • Siloam Stompers
  • The Puddle Jumpers

running club must be restarted. i believe it was abandoned due to a lack of interest, but i can contact the founders to see what is up.

has anyone else expressed interest?

Yes, a few people have expressed interest in a "beginning runner's club." Maybe we can get one going!!
