FAQs

  • How did you come up with the idea for MMM? We modeled it after a similar successful event in Colorado Springs, CO called Jack Quinn’s Runners. Click here to check them out. If you are in Colorado Springs be sure you run/walk with them any Tuesday.
  • Where do I park? Parking is available in a small lot east of Maynard’s. Street parking is free after 5:00 PM. You can park in the Madden Media lot after 5:00 PM…just west of Maynards 345 E. Toole. . You can find parking on 4th Ave., and it’s an easy walk from there.
  • Are kids welcome? Please bring your kids. If they are walking/running age, please sign them. If they are in a stroller, please put a +1 or +2 next to your name on the waiver or check-in list. We count every child. Put a +1 or +2 for the number of kids…next to your name on check-in sheet.
  • Can I bring my dog? But of course! Just be sure he/she is on a leash. You are all welcome on the patio at Maynard’s. No promises about the other restaurants.
  • What happens when I get there? Good idea to come early for your first walk/run…say 5:30. You will sign a waiver the first time…just takes 30 seconds. On subsequent Mondays you  (or a volunteer) will circle the number next to your name on the master list. We will keep track of how many times you have attended, as you earn a MMM t-shirt after eight Mondays, you are listed on the website as a MMM Athlete at 10 Mondays, and earn a MMM cap at 15.
  • Does the event go on, even on holidays? Yes, unless we notify you otherwise. Maynard’s and Cup Cafe will be open for dining afterward. We cannot promise the same for the other restaurants on our route.
  • Do we walk in the dark? Yes we do, so bring a flashlight or a headlight during fall and winter. It is required! If you can’t find one in your garage, pick one up in Maynard’s Market for only $5.99 (includes batteries)…and it even says Meet Me at Maynard’s on it!
  • Does the route stay the same? For the most part, yes. It does change occasionally, but we try to make sure we pass in front of most of the great restaurants and bars that participate by offering discounts exclusive to MMM Athletes.
  • What about restaurant discounts? On the back of your route map you will find a list of restaurants and bars in the downtown/4th Avenue area that are all offering special discounts exclusive to MMM Athletes. Check the website each Monday before you come, to make sure you have the latest discount updates. They change frequently. After you return to Maynard’s, you may decide to stay at Maynard’s and enjoy dinner and live music on the patio, or head over to one of the many listed spots for a drink and/or dinner.
  • I heard there are weekly prizes…what about that? Don’t miss the weekly drawing for gift certificates for local restaurants and businesses. Plus, each week we give away a $25 gift certificate from our exclusive shoe sponsor, The Running Shop/ Worldly Soles. Just enter the drawing when you check in…then be present at 7:00 for the drawing. That is also the time we give shirts and caps to those who have earned them.
  • How will the restaurant know I am a MMM Athlete so I can get my discount? You You must have your MMM hand stamp…get at the check-in table.
  • How do I get listed on the website? Attend 10 MMM Mondays…at 15 Mondays  you will earn a MMM cap.
