- Looking
for someone to run with on
Saturday mornings?
Come to
the Burger King Restaraunt on Route 30 in Amsterdam.
That's now been adopted as the official meeting place following the
recent closing of McDonalds up the road. On almost
any Saturday morning year-round you'll find Fulmont Roadrunners running
four or eight miles (and sometimes more) at varing paces, starting out
at 8 AM. There's also a walking group. After the
running/walking, most folks stop in at Burger King for refreshments and
war stories (about their chosen sport, of course)
