Meetup
Pike Creek uses Meetup.com to advertise the group runs and some special events. Please RSVP to the Meetup page if you are planning on attending. We have heard from newcomers they decided not to come because only a couple people RSVP’ed so they thought the event would be sparsely attended. Monday’s C25k session had over 20 people!
Click the Meetup logo above or down in the “Links for Members” section. The link will be included in the “Links for Members” section in each E-Bulletin.

We are also continuing the tradition of collecting donations for the B+ Foundation. The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation honors the life of 14-year-old Andrew who battled leukemia and sepsis. Andrew’s B+ blood type became the perfect message – Be Positive – to reflect how Andrew lived his life and how he inspired others to do the same. The B+ Foundation is about kids helping kids fight cancer. We do this by providing financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer and by providing childhood cancer research grants.
Thanks and looking forward to another great event!
Seminar Series – Yoga For Runners Workshop
Announcing the next entry in our Seminar Series! Please RSVP to Paula Jermyn at .
WHAT: Yoga for Runners
WHEN: June, 9th @ 6:30PM-7:45PM
WHERE: Hockessin Activity Center (Located right inside the PAL on Lancaster Pike)
WHO: This is a special workshop as part of our speaker series, however, non PCVRC friends and family can also participate for a small donation of $5. We are looking forward to a great turn out!
Running and yoga go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you are tight, sore, stressed, or just looking to clear your mind for a more focused training season, yoga may be the right thing for you.
What the heck is yoga anyway? Do we have to wear trendy clothes and bend ourselves into pretzels? Absolutely not. Yoga, like running, can be simple and effective with minimal equipment.
Yoga is an ancient practice that began in India. Physically, it can help you become stronger, and more flexible. Mentally, it can improve concentration and relieve stress. The breath in yoga is what links the mental and physical together. This “mind/ body connection” can help an athlete to feel more present and healthy in their sport.
If you think you’re too tight for yoga, think again. This workshop is tailored specifically for runners. It begins with a short introduction, breath work, and a series of beginner-friendly postures to strengthen and stretch the muscles. We will focus specifically on:
-Injury prevention
-Safe Alignment
-Core stability
-Stress relief for muscles and mind
It ends in a guided relaxation to leave you feeling calm and refreshed. Come give it a try!
Bring an exercise mat and bottle of water. Comfortable clothes are important. Keep in mind that inversions (forward folds) will have you upside down so fitted shirts can be easier than very baggy ones. Stretching ropes/straps are helpful if you are very tight.
