Running club forming in Bayfield

Bayfield Running Club, a combination fun run and social event, is starting next Wednesday.

"I don't consider myself a runner but I love to jog and sign up for destination races and fun events," explained Bethany Bernal, who is organizing the club.

The club will meet at 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays at the Bottom Shelf Brewery. The group's first "unofficial sponsor" is Tailwind Nutrition in Bayfield. They're providing some prizes for giveaways. All runners will receive a pint from the brewery after the 5K run. The club is based on a similar group in Colorado Springs. Bernal recently moved to Bayfield from there. She hopes other businesses will want to donate prizes for the weekly runs.

"The mission of the Bayfield Running Club is to foster the community by providing an activity/venue that promotes active lifestyles and social interactions," Bernal wrote.

To keep up with club activities, Bernal asks folks to like their facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/BayfieldRunningClub/
