Welcome To The OLD FARTS RUNNING CLUB Official Web Site
Out Running the Hands of Time...
Welcome to the OLD FART WEB SITE! Thank you for taking the time to surf our links. We hope you can come and run anyone of our great road and/or trail races in the upcoming months. We also encourage you to become an Official Old Fart Member so that you can be directly in the loop as to when races are being run and you also receive a $5.00 race discount on several road races for a whole year. Thanks again and I hope we can help encourage you to get out there and run and enjoy racing with other great runners like yourself.
It does not matter on the AGE that you are but upon the effort that you give...If I could have done it all over again, I would have encouraged more, seeked the impossible, and would have been trying to do what others thought I could not have done a lot more often...
OLD FART MISSION STATEMENT: We the willing, led by the unknowning, are doing the impossible for the sometimes ungrateful. We have done so much for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing, for nothing.
There is something to be said when you've been at this sport as long as we have and are still competitive.
We are here to help you, to encourage you, and to give you that pat on the back that you never got when you were trying to do the things that you could have done all along if you just had had that encourager.
