What are Flying Monkeys?


The Flying Monkeys are a social running club that grew out of the 2008 Flying Monkeys Reno- Tahoe Odyssey endurance relay team a bunch of us put together. Out of that grew a desire to have a group unencumbered by dues, fees, elections and all the "political" drama that can overtake the fun and the desire to just run for fun!


This intrepid band of fellow "monkeys" enter races together, do hash runs and generaly socialize with like minded folk. This holiday season we are doing a run to garner donations for the local homeless shelter and there are plans for "free" races from a 10K to half marathon in the future. The local Fleet Feet store owners Alan and Susan help me get the word out by newsletter and blurbs on their website and are fantastic cheerleaders for the group.
