Running Group

 

 

“I believe God made me for a purpose…and when I run I feel His pleasure.”

– Eric Liddell, Chariots of Fire

The Fellowship Running Group is made up of men and women of all ages, sizes, shapes and speeds. Most of us are very busy people, so we meet at 6:00am on Saturday mornings at Kosmos to run and have a great time together. Kosmos is located at The Fellowship at Cinco Ranch on the corner of Westheimer Parkway and Peek in Katy.
Before we run we have a short prayer thanking and praising God and asking for his blessings on the run and on our time together. Each week there are several distances (2 to 12+ mile routes) and speeds (turtles, rabbits and everything in between) to choose from.
Why do we start and end our runs at Kosmos? Because the best part of the run is sticking around afterward for something good to drink and/or eat at Kosmos.  It is great to relax with friends after a run and enjoy the accomplishment.

The Top 5 Reasons Why People Enjoy the Fellowship Running Group:

 

1. Some people are looking to make new friends…happens all the time on The Fellowship runs.

2. Some people have a goal to run a 5-K, 10-K, half or full marathon and need training partners to help them accomplish their goals…we meet that need as well.

3. Some people enjoy (some say tolerate) the weekly “Saturday Run” emails from the group’s leader that occasionally have an “interesting” story such as the recent experience of running in India entitled “We Got Cows!” …you have to join the group to really appreciate this reason for running!

4. Some people want to get in shape or lose weight…and running will definitely help you shed the pounds.

5. However, the most important reason that some people in the group run is that they can eat as much Mexican Food as they want without feeling guilty!!!

 

Whatever your reason may be, we invite you to join us!
