We Run 313: Book Talk and Community Run

In collaboration with the team at Running Lab, we are excited to announce that Lance Woods and Joe Robinson with WeRun313 are coming to Brighton on Wednesday, August 19th! Joe and Lance will begin by talking about their new book (featured below) about their running club based out of Detroit. After, you're invited to participate in a community run/walk around the Millpond! Once you return, you'll be able to get your copy of the book signed while enjoying snacks and water provided by Running Lab.
This is going to be a GREAT event, and we can't wait to see you! Registration is required (and free!) by following the ticketing link or by going 2dandelionsbookshop.com/werun313
We will meet on the patio right here at 2 Dandelions.
It is strongly encouraged that you pre-purchase your copy of the book to guarantee stock at the event.
