Friendships
Many NMR runners were at the beginning of their running journeys when they joined the club. Through socially connected apps such as Facebook, Instagram, and Strava we are able to follow each other's progress and become friends. Socially, we have had events at local pubs and in backyards. It's always good to see each other in our non-running gear.
