Week 3 🛸 Hopefully you all got some extra recovery after the Lobo Invitational! Everyone who joined in was able to get a feel of race days and build our community branches outward with other local runners and walkers. Good job to all the RMers out there and to our local community 👏

This week we are keeping it lowkey as we build up to an exciting community hike/run on Saturday morning! ⛰️ We have our community meet ups scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday this week. Double check locations.

📍 ABQ/DT will be at UNM N. Golf Course on Tuesday and Netherwood Park on Thursday. Yoga will be happening with Coach Renee on Tuesday! 🧘🏻

📍 RR/WS will be back-to-back at Alameda Open Space on Tuesday and Thursday this week.

👚 We have RM season shirts available on Tuesday at Alameda Open Space and Thursday at Netherwood Park. We will also have RM past season shirts, RM singlets, and possibly some RM merch available for sale on these days! Make sure you see Logistics for more info 🛍️

Saturday we will see you all bright and early at La Luz Trailhead for the youth’s first High Altitude Training of the season, while adults and non-competitive youth are welcome to hike/sightsee/run/train along the trail. No matter what you choose, we’ll be going up La Luz together at your pace and distance. Best of all, you won’t be alone. We will have more details on this event later this week 🥾

Week 2 🫈 And we have a lot happening this week! First of all, thank you to the parents/families that came out to Bike and Coffee over the weekend. It’s always a great time out there and definitely worth the early wake up on a weekend. It’s an adjustment for everyone to get the kids up early and to get a new routine started for the season so good job parents, grandparents, guardians, kids, volunteers, coaches, and everyone that just has a hard time getting out the door 🚙 We see you & we’re proud of you! 🫵🏽

This week we’re starting off Monday with our youth time trials, so please don’t forget your water and a small snack. Coaches are looking forward to seeing you all! ⏱️ We will also have Little Pacers back this week for registered parents and kids under 5. Little Pacers volunteers take time to give parents their time to get some movement in while our volunteers keep the littles active together 🛝

Tuesday we have our Adult Time Trials at Alameda Open Space for our Westside group that missed this opportunity last week due to the weather and late arrivals 🚦 Yoga will be available this Tuesday as well 🧘🏻

Thursday will offer a day of movement to get folks out there and back in with good energy to lead us all into our first community race of the season.

Saturday we hope to see you all at the UNM North Golf Course for the Lobo Invitational Community Race at 9:30 am for a group stretch and bib handout 🚨 Reminder to sign-up BEFORE 11:59 pm on Monday, August 31st. You must be registered for the Fall 2026 season. If you sign-up and are absent on race day, you will be responsible for a $10 fee back to the Running Medicine Program 🚨

👉 This season we will be having a series of challenges each month to promote healthy choices and overall wellness! Starting TODAY, September 1st, we will be starting the 🚫 No Soda Challenge 👊

📜 Several seasons ago, Coach Loren started the No Soda Challenge for one month and it has become somewhat of a tradition for the Rio Rancho / Westside group that has been quite successful and always fun. However, this season we want to bring it to each location. So if you’ve been looking to kick the habit, here’s a good place to begin! 👏

All criteria are listed above, so take a look and we hope to see you all on Monday to get your names added to the board ✍️ We’ve put a twist on the challenge as well so take some time to get familiar with the changes. We hope to have a sneak peek of the prize in Mid-September and are so grateful for this partnership with .siiem. We encourage everyone to give it a try week-by-week to earn their entry 🎟️

Registration is NOW OPEN for the 11th Annual I Will Run for Them 5K!
📆 Saturday, October 24, 2026
Isleta Lakes & RV Park | Isleta Pueblo, NM

Every October, CSVANW recognizes Domestic Violence Awareness Month by creating space for healing, remembrance, and collective action.

We know that running is healing. Movement is medicine.

Since 2016, the I Will Run for Them 5K has brought together survivors, families, advocates, Tribal leaders, and community members to honor those impacted by domestic and sexual violence. Every step is dedicated to our relatives. Every mile is a reminder that healing is possible when we move together.

Native communities continue to experience disproportionate rates of violence. Four out of five Native women will experience violence in their lifetime. These are not just statistics. They are our mothers, sisters, daughters, aunties, friends, and relatives.

Whether you run, jog, or walk, we invite you to join us in honoring survivors, remembering those we have lost, and creating pathways toward violence-free Native communities.

Registration
General: $20
Youth (12 & Under): FREE
CSVANW Members: FREE
For CSVANW Members, we are excited to offer you FREE registration for the 11th Annual I Will Run for Them 5K. Please reach out to our Membership Coordinator for more info at [email protected].
