Wear your MMM shirt/cap to the Tucson Clean and Beautiful…Let’s show our “colors” at a ceremony in our honor, on Monday, March 15, at 4:00 PM, (or a few minutes early) on the site of our sign (see below) on Broadway. Let’s show them a “sea” of MMM shirts for the cameras. Take a look at our sign, driving west on Broadway, just before Rattlesnake Bridge. See location below.

Monday is clean-up night with Tucson Clean and Beautiful…take a trash bag and gloves (provided) with you on your walk and help us keep downtown beautiful. Everyone who returns to Maynards with a bag of trash will be entered into a special drawing for $25 gift certificates at The Running Shop and at Worldly Soles…our exclusive shoe sponsors.

Becky Welp will give an interactive 20-minute training talk on Monday…”Carbs, what’s the deal anyway?” If you win the drawing we will come get you!

If you gaze longingly at the brightly costumed cyclists as you pass them in traffic,,,and wish you could give cycling a try, in a safe and non-threatening environment, then put April 4 on your calendar now. The Doo Dah Road Club…doodahroadclub.org, invites you to give cycling a chance to win your heart. Join Rick and others at Maynards at 8:45 AM. Beg, borrow (don’t steal) a bike and be there. Helmets are mandatory! The ride will be about 13 miles…then hang around for coffee and other yummy stuff. There you go…a new sport and new friends. It doesn’t get better than that.

MMM First Anniversary “Rock and Stroll” on April 12…You won’t want to miss this grand celebration…four miles of live music, food, drink, and surprises ($$$) for everyone who registers/ checks in. Mark your calendars NOW!! You may want to get off work early, as festivities begin at 4:00. MMM will make downtown a happening place…sponsored by TMC Healthcare. Keep checking the “Rock and Stroll” tab on the top of our homepage…it changes almost daily!

It will take lots of MMM volunteer effort to make this a huge success.  Wouldn’t you like to be part of it? Please let us know…send an email to mmmvolunteer@gmail.com.

Are you a 15X MMM Athlete?…If so, there is a MMM cap waiting for you. Just check at the table AFTER the walk/run. These Bay Six caps are of high quality tech fabric…you are going to love them. If you can’t possibly wait for your 15th MMM walk/run, you may purchase a cap for $15.

YOU MUST CHECK WEBSITE FOR DISCOUNT DETAILS….Your route guide will list participating businesses and phone numbers…but no details. You will find up-to-date discount specials on the website only. It’s easy…just click on the “MMM Discounts” tab at the top of the homepage each Monday.

Parking is always free after 5:00 PM in the Madden Media lot…345 E. Toole, just west of Maynards.

Route changed slightly in January to accommodate walkers who would like a shorter route and runners who want to run 4 miles…The first part of the route has not changed. Walkers may opt to walk 2 miles by turning left off of Broadway onto 5th St. and returning to Maynard’s. Others will continue east. After we cross Rattlesnake Bridge follow the sidewalk all the way to 4th Avenue. At this point walkers may opt to walk 3 miles by turning back under the underpass and return to Maynard’s. Others will continue north on the east side of 4th Ave. to University, cross over to the west side of 4th Ave. and return to Maynards. Of course you can turn back at any point along 4th Ave. The full 4-mile route will take us past all participating restaurants and bars, including Che’s, Shanty, The Hut, Bison Witches, Brooklyn Pizza Company, Bumsteds, Delectables and O’Malley’s. Enjoy!!

You will also find news of importance about Meet Me at Maynard’s. There may come a day that we change our location for one Monday…like a field trip! Wouldn’t you want to know that before you arrive? J

The Running Shop and Worldly Soles, our exclusive shoe sponsors have provided gift certificates for our 2010 drawings.
