Chennai Runners

Came across Chennai Runners web-site earlier today. Very inspirational logo and catchphrase:

Do more...... Start Running!


About us from the web-site:
Chennai Runners is an informal assembly of people who share a passion for running. Most of us like running long distances. Some of us prefer short distances. But we like running.

This group comprises, in varying fitness levels, the young, the young at heart and people whose youthfulness belies their age. Long distance running with the goal of finishing a marathon drives most of the members in this group. So we draw up schedules, train together, travel to races, exchange stories and experiences.

Running in a group helps us push each other beyond our limits and alleviates the loneliness of running.

Whether you like setting the pace or following your own, join us by subscribing to our Google Group with your email in the subscription box up above.
The blog of the group has been active since December of 2007. One of the Chennai Runners group member informed me the group has been active since 2005 and there are 370 members in the group. They have a regular training schedule which encompasses running, cycling, team-relay, frisbee, cross training and more.

My apologies. I inferred the 2007 date from the blog entries!

I have corrected the entry details.
