Why go all the way to Pamplona Spain to run with ornery beasts when you can Run with the Bus here?

Hello Bus Racers!

Let me start by saying, we at Motion Starved are very excited that so many of you will be joining us for Run with the Bus this season! It looks like we’ll have quite an impressive field of racers this time. So… Thank you in advance for your support!

On that note, it’s important to mention that this is an event designed show folks that exercise can be lots of fun and to bring out the kid in all of us. It’s an excuse to run up a hill and act a little nutty, in no way is it meant to be a comment on Muni service. In fact, we hope that Muni will take this challenge in stride and play along with us.

As noted, there will be prizes for the first few to reach the top of the hill as well as finisher prizes (even if the bus gets there first).  I should also mention that just like the bus, all “racers” are expected to obey the rules of the road (stop and wait at the light!) and exhibit acceptable sidewalk etiquette (no knocking into people please).

If the Muni Schedule proves accurate, there should be a 22 Fillmore arriving at Cervantes and Fillmore at about 6:30 pm (last year it was late). When the bus leaves the bus stop we’re off and running, so be ready. Since the course is only about 1 mile long and goes up hill pretty fast I suggest you warm up before the start. I will be leading a short warm up starting at 6:25 please attend if you’re able.

Lastly, don’t forget you’ll need to get home after the race. Unfortunately Motion Starved is not able to provide transportation back to the start so you’ll need to bring bus fare or run/walk back.

AND… don’t forget, after you cross the finish line head over to Athleta on Fillmore where we’ll have our award ceremony and be showered with recovery snacks (no dried-up Costco carrots here) courtesy of our friends at Athleta.

I think that about covers it. Grease up your fast legs and I’ll see you tomorrow… If you have any questions, comment here or Facebook me.

XX,

Kelley

ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH…?

The 22 Fillmore

Join Motion Starved and Athleta on Fillmore Street

We’ll be awarding KOM (King of the Mountain) prizes to the first man, women, stroller or bus to reach the top of the Fillmore Hill, as well as overall top finishers.
Post-race, we’ll celebrate at the Athleta store with snacks, hydration & stylish prizes!
