Sir Walter Qualifier Friday and thank you Runologie!

Last chance to run Pop Ups is the Friday at Meredith!

Runners,

Thanks for an awesome 2025 Pop Up Miles season! It has been a blast and we look forward to wrapping it up Friday night at Meredith with a few more races and an after party at Raleigh Brewing Company to celebrate a fun June!

We also wanted to celebrate our friends at Runologie! If you didn’t hear, after 10+ years in business, they are shutting down. Tonight (Thursday at 6pm) is their last group run. We urge you go out and run, buy a few things, and possibly have a cold beverage (donated by Sir Walter)! Alex Warren and Runologie have been a HUGE help to the Sir Walter team over the years, so let’s send him off properly by helping him clear his inventory!

The Sir Walter Qualifier is Friday and is open to everyone (with an after-party)!

Wondering who may run the 2025 Sir Walter Miler locally? See below! If you’re on this list, let us know if you plan to run (or not)!
