Note on AO Use
A51 has long-standing relationships with the private organizations that allow us to workout on their grounds. For these places, we have been given specific times and days to be on the premises. Please check with the site Q's at least one week before date of unscheduled workout to allow enough time for Site Q to contact the appropriate people at the site.

Richard Sheltra Memorial 10K, 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run
Saturday, April 29th at 0730
This Event honors a local fallen firefighter, Mr. Richard Sheltra of the Pineville Volunteer Fire Department who died in the line of duty. All proceeds will benefit the "Richard Sheltra Memorial Fund." This Fund is designed to purchase New Turnout Gear and Educational Expenses for first responders.
Cheddar and I see this as an opportunity to formally introduce F3 to the Town of Pineville. We are looking for F3 PAX who might have gone out for a 1-mile, 5k or 10k run that Saturday morning, and are asking the PAX to let that run count for something - a show of support toward a local family/community, as well as an opportunity to get the word out about how F3 makes good men into better men.
It's not an officially sponsored race, but it is an opportunity to show support to a local family and foundation that aims to give firefighters equipment and education to ensure that this tragedy doesn't happen again...
Thanks for your consideration.
-DF/Cheddar, Co-Site Qs of Pineville's "The Big House"

Workout Safety and Local Rules
Lights and/or reflectives that can be seen from 500 feet when hit by headlights are needed by runners in the roads of Charlotte in the dark. As we note repeatedly in our disclaimer, F3, the workout Q, nor the facility are responsible for your personal safety. You, having chosen to follow the suggestions of the workout Q, are solely responsible for your personal safety. That being said, you are also responsible for choosing to comply with municipal codes. Bottom line is, please do all you can to keep yourself safe. Reflective gear helps reduce the chance of being struck by a car. Sounds like a good idea any way you look at it. Also, please consider buying a RoadID. In an emergency, the men around you need to be able to contact your family. They are on sale here: Road ID - World Leaders in Runner ID, Cycling ID & Medical ID Tags
Be safe men

F3 Darby Challenge
Think you can run 565 miles #notanotherBRRx2? What if you had a month #notovernight? What if you could do it on a bike #gears? Want to try help those that have deployed more times in the past 15 years than any other unit #tipofthespear? Then welcome to the F3 Darby Challenge.
Run Ranger Run #R3, launching again in Feb 2017, is GallantFew’s annual fundraiser that allows us to do the work we do with helping veterans transition from active duty to civilian life. F3 Nation has proven time and again the strength that a group of #HIMs pushing in the same direction can have #meanmeanstride. The F3 Darby Challenge is our way of contributing to #R3 to create a little bit of competition between F3 regions. The team that raises the most funds, and completes the 565 miles, will receive a one-of-a-kind coin, never to be made again. Join the F3 Team!
There are 3 ways to participate:
- Join the F3 Nation team. Register at http://www.runrangerrun.com/. There are currently 8spots left on the team. Don’t make Darby and Coop Dog do all 565 miles by themselves #Icantfeelmyquads
- Form your own Team: Think you can do more than the F3 Nation team? Form your own team in your region or sub-region. Use your BRR or Palmetto 200 team #yourealreadyrunning. Team with the most money donated will be recognized by a one-of-a-kind F3/Ranger challenge coin!
- Donate to a team. Whether it’s the Nation team or one of the regional teams that you support the funds all go to the same great cause. If you are interested in donating go here RunRangerRun2017 and make sure to select your team.
