8 runners out for the first Saturday. Two and a half along the lakefront. Coffee at the corner spot afterward — boardwalk wasn't open yet.
CONDITIONS Inaugural run. Cold, sunny, lakefront mostly empty. Coffee at the corner spot since the boardwalk café wasn't open yet.
First run on the books — no retention baseline yet. Returners and milestone tiers start tracking at issue 002.
No partners on this run — yet.
When a local business hosts at the run — coffee, fuel, gear loan, anyone — this section turns into their thank-you note: what they hosted, photos with their brand visible, reach and mentions. Most clubs find their first partner around month three. The section's ready when you are.
- 01 Boardwalk café doesn't open till April — coffee at Espresso Bueno on Pine St until then.
- 02 Eight is a great start. Need to set the recurring time and put it in calendars before next Saturday.
- 03 No headlamp loan, no fuel station, no coffee partner yet — researching local businesses to pitch by month three.
- 04 QR check-in worked at 28°F with gloves on. All three Cordonate flows tested clean.
- 05 One runner got dropped at the turn — adding a sweep volunteer next Saturday.
Most clubs land their first partner around month three. The section above is ready when you are.
