What do you like about RMRR?  Introduction to Racewalking, friendly competition, accepting of quirky folks like me
Other: The nice thing about RMRR is that although there are speedy sneakers and those who do insanely amazing events, it’s a club where beginners like me can find a place to compete. Waiting until the last person comes across the line is really important … especially when that last person, quite out of breath, might be me
