Middie Striders Invitational Invitational Elementary Cross-Country Meet
parkrun is such a simple concept: turn up every Saturday and volunteer, walk, jog or run 5k.
Roebling Runners started in Cincinnati in July 2018 when founder Andrew realized running needed more than miles, it needed community. The crew's philosophy is simple: connect, explore, achieve. Built on genuine connection across a shared city, Roebling Runners brings together around 20 runners from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky who show up week after week. Tuesday mornings begin at Carabello Coffee at 6am, rolling toward the iconic bridge and back. Saturdays are for longer efforts starting right at the Roebling itself. Small and welcoming, this crew believes running is better when it brings people together.
