Meadow Muffins is kicking off the Muff's Running Club on Thursday, April 1.

And this is no April Fool's joke. The running craze is back in Colorado Springs with organized runs setting participation records on almost every Saturday.

So lace up those Nikes and head on down to this long-time watering hole in old Colorado City.

The 5K run begins at 6 p.m. You don't have to run - especially if you've already had a couple. Walking the distance is fine, too.

There will be food and drink deals afterward.

The Muff's Running Club will go every Thursday. Attend 10 times and you get a free T-shirt.

Meadow Muffins is located in the heart of Old Colorado City. For more info, call 633-0583.
