We were recently asked if we wanted a free RIBZ Front Pack (coordinated by Deep Creek Public Relations) in consideration for review publication. While it’s normally promoted as a product for a wide variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing and kayaking, we decided to try it out and see how well it performed for run commuting. We ran it through two different [...]

Mike: family man, marathon man
DeKalb Avenue is off my typical run commute route, but the morning was foggy and DeKalb offers a wonderful view of the skyline’s sentinels huddled in their wooly blankets. It also allowed me to meet Mike, another run commuter! I spied Mike’s florescent orange shirt from several blocks back and hot-heeled it after him, grabbing [...]

Winter Running
This fall has been one of the warmest I can remember in a long time. There were a couple of cool mornings that I had to break out the toque and gloves but I was still running in shorts. I knew in the back of my mind that this would come to an end very shortly but I [...]
Surgical Swagger: I Can Run – Part 2 SA, TX Run Commuter
One of the things I do now is work with children having cognitive skills deficiencies such as Autism and Asperger syndrome. The center where I help out is perfectly placed at a manageable 7 miles one way. I only mention I work with children because for me it has significance to my story. Doing the [...]
The Run Commuter in Urban China Magazine
We’re going global! The latest edition of Urban China magazine featured a very cool article on “Community-based Micro-sports”, devoting a two-page spread to run commuting (and a pic of TRC’s Josh and Kyle). They even included a bit about the Atlanta BeltLine and Historic Fourth Ward Park. The section on run commuting features general tips on gear [...]
Overgrown Sidewalks and Urban Bushwhacking
Spring came and went like a bat out of hell, leaving us Georgians with 80+ degree days in February, followed by a summer that started in March.
