Picture this… 🌅✨

The sun is starting to dip, the weather is just right, and you’re pulling up to Smudgepot Brewing Company for another Thursday evening with some of your favorite people. 💛

You check in on the Doreen Fay app (because yes, those miles can earn you points! 😉📱), say hi to a few familiar faces, and start getting ready for a few golden-hour miles.

You lace up your shoes…

Except this Thursday, they might not actually be your shoes. 👀👟

Because HOKA is coming to hang out with us! 🎉

They’ll be bringing some fun shoes for us to take for a spin, and you’ll have the chance to demo the Clifton Pro or the Mach 7 while running—or walking—those beautiful sunset miles.

Maybe you find your new favorite shoe.
Maybe you discover a little extra bounce in your step. ✨
Or maybe you’re just there for the miles, the laughs, and the people. 🫶

Either way, it’s shaping up to be one of those evenings that reminds us exactly why we love Thursdays so much.

📍 Meet us at Smudgepot Brewing at 6:00 PM
📱 Check in on the Running Center app to earn your points
🏃‍♀️🚶 We’ll start running & walking around 6:45 PM

Then we’ll head out together as the sun dips lower, soak up the perfect weather and golden-hour miles, and eventually make our way back with tired legs, happy hearts, and hopefully… an appetite. 😉

Because our night doesn’t end when the miles do.

🌮 Las Tarascas will be waiting for us with delicious food!

So stay awhile. Grab some food. Talk about the shoes you tried. Catch up with a friend. Meet someone new. Laugh about the miles you just shared.

Come move with us, eat with us, laugh with us, and spend a beautiful Thursday evening with our little running community. 🫶

💗 FIRST 2-MILER AS A PACK!

We officially kicked off our first 2-miler of the 2026-2027 Lopers season, and what a way to start!

Lots of pink, lots of smiles, lots of energy, and our brand-new Lopers shirts looked SO good out there!

More importantly, we ran and walked together as a pack, met new Lopers, reconnected with familiar faces and took those first steps into an amazing new season.

This is what Lopers is all about: community, encouragement, friendship and doing this together.

2026-2027 season, here we go! 💗

08/09/2026

Your Sunday long run/walk starts before Sunday! ✨

🩷 This week’s homework:
👟 Run/walk 15–30 minutes on TWO different days this week!

Those weekday miles may be short, but they’re mighty! 💪
They help build endurance, keep your body strong, reduce the risk of injury, and make those Sunday long run/walks feel so much better. Every mile matters! 🌸

💖 Need a little motivation?
📍 Join us Thursday at Smudgepot Brewing Company
🕡 6:30 PM
🏃 We’ll get a few miles in together and check one homework run/walk off the list!

🌭 Bonus: Dawgs 4 Dogs Hotdogs will be our vendor of the evening! 🐶

See you tomorrow! 🩷
