Cowlitz Valley Runners

OOPS!! I messed up. Last Saturday's run was supposed to be this week's run. So we will switcharoo, again.

☕🏃‍♀️ Saturday Morning Miles + Coffee Smiles! 🏃‍♂️☕
This Saturday, June 13th, lace up and join the Cowlitz Valley Runners for a fun walk, jog, or run starting at 8:30 AM from Starbucks (100 N Minor Rd, Kelso).
No pressure. No timers. Just good company and fresh air. 🌤️
Pick your distance, set your pace, and enjoy the miles!
Afterward, stick around for coffee, gossip, and our monthly business meeting — and yes, everyone is invited! ☕😄
📍 All routes start heading east on Allen Street.
