    Hey anyone need a last minute holiday gift for someone? Buy them a Run The Year package and have them join in the fun! Better than a box of chocolates or a gym membership at they’ll abandon by mid February! Nothings says “I love you and want you on this earth with me” like a reason to walk or run with friends!

    I should get paid for that rty.

    I am going to join! I definitely want to be on a team because 2020 miles by myself will be difficult! Probably Tuesday!

    Perhaps we can wrangle some newbies in early January. Is the new January thread up yet?

    It's up now @elise4270 since you created it for us! 😊
    If you are new here there is also a monthly running challenge group with tons of runners at all levels talking about running related topics and life in general as it relates to running (mostly). Come join in and set a goal to get you through January!

    No such thing as a dumb question. ;) Once the year starts we create teams and join them. I cant remember exactly how, but do remember that it wasn't difficult. We do need to think about team names though!

    Reposting to bring this over to the current page. Hoping we get some more activity here. Our teams are pretty sparse this year. Looks like at least 3 good teams!

    @hamsterwheel6 - When you register you need to pick a username on the RTY site and we will need to know whatever that name is to add you to our team. So if I am a team captain and @elise4270 is on my team I will find her and add her to the team - at least I believe that is how it was done. We can also follow each other individually as well as all of the teams.
    I encourage using our MFP usernames only because it is easier to know who is who.

    I logged into the RTY2020 tracker and we can start setting up teams. 1st though we need to start thinking up Team Names! I was scrolling through to see what others were using and what was taken. One that caught my eye and made me laugh was S.L.U.T.S. - Southern Ladies Under Tremendous Stress 🤣

    @elise4270 - we could reuse our 2019 team name modified with 2020 or come up with a new name? Gimpy Runners for 2020? 😁

    If we don't get anymore people joining in I will pull @kgirlhart onto my team and we will have 3 teams plus @eleanorhawkins on her own team of 1. We will still have lots of spots to add more in if some want to join later. I was kind of hoping @tramboman and some of the others from last year would join again.

    I was thinking the same about @kgirlhart . I think new year new name. We'll have to brainstorm on it.

    That will work for me if we don't get any other people. I'm not really gimpy (yet) though so a new name would be nice. I do like the name R.I.O.T.
