Maybe you regret not signing up for the McGuire’s or you had such a blast you want to do it again! While none are quite like McGuire’s Annual Prediction Run, there are a number of races coming up.
If you’ve never been much of a runner or you would like some help improving, check out Running Wild for merchandise, training groups, or running clubs. They will provide gait analysis and fit your feet with shoes to accommodate the structure of your foot and your gait.
In Pensacola, Running Wild is located at 3012 E. Cervantes Street.
Here are just a few upcoming runs:
