Competitive Runners News Today

I volunteered to pass out water bottles and snacks at the Silverdale Rotary Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. I have been part of this event for years, both as a runner and a volunteer, and have witnessed the number of participants grow steadily each year. This increase in popularity is nice to see, not only because running is a fantastic exercise, but because it’s also beneficial for our joints.

Because of the perceived wear and tear associated with running, many people believe that it will increase their chances of developing hip and knee arthritis.
