Runners from the Richmond Beach Running Club, with members from Shoreline, Edmonds, and North Seattle, started off their New Year with a running jump - straight into Greenlake.

On New Year's Day, the group started with a run, then finished with a plunge into the chilly lake. They said it was "fun" and hope that more people will join them next year.

The club meets at the Richmond Beach Coffee House every Saturday morning, does stretches, runs a pre-planned route starting at 8am, then regroups for coffee. Sunday runs start at Cafe Louvre in Edmonds. Information is available on their website and Facebook page.

This Saturday, January 4, 2014 is an upper Woodway run, with the start at Cafe Louvre in Edmonds.
