FLYING IRISH
Running Club
The Flying Irish Running Club is dedicated to the furthering of an active lifestyle through running in a social setting and strives to positively promote the sport of running.
Dear Flying Irish Members: ![]()
We will keep this brief. Last Thursday, 4/15/21, some running club members caused an incident at Ruby River Hotel. This is the 2nd such incident from this group. Despite our reminders about the current phase parameters (maximum table size of 10 people,) they showed up and insisted on being seated as a party of 12 to 15 according to Osprey management. When the wait was long one of them started verbally accosting the servers and the host. ![]()

Because of their rude and belligerent behavior Ruby River Hotel is seriously reconsidering whether or not the Flying Irish are welcome there. We are in jeopardy of losing our new home before we even get a chance to run as a group. ![]()

As the Board works to address this problem we are canceling this week’s run and suspending the sponsor discounts. We do not want to be in the role of policing the actions of our members, however the reputation of the club is on the line and we are taking this matter very seriously. ![]()

Allow us to state something that should be obvious: each of you represent the Flying Irish when you wear the colors and participate in our events. Poor behavior reflects on all of us and simply cannot be tolerated if the club is to survive. ![]()

The Flying Irish Board of Directors
Hey All! Sorry to disappoint, but our final test run of the system revealed a glitch. It worked before, and now, despite no changes, it doesn't. Oh technology, you fickle friend. So, testing of the sign-in board is POSTPONED. Enjoy the awesome weather and we'll keep you posted on the next attempt!
Join us for a different run each Thursday night!
Our runs are typically between 3-4 miles but we do have some longer run options that are closer to 5 miles for those that want to go further. More information on our routes can be found on our Routes page.
