There’s a new running club in Fountain Hills, open to all ages and levels. The Running Roots Club is free and looking for new members to run, jog or walk together.
Mo Heintz is a new resident of Fountain Hills and a competitive marathoner from Bend, Ore. She joined organizations like Kiwanis and became a mentor with Golden Eagle Education Foundation but missed her running friends from back home.
Heintz started the Running Roots Club and believes keeping active is key to longevity. The club will meet at the local gym, Iron Roots Strength & Co., every Saturday at 9 a.m., and leave for their walk, jog or run. Different distances along with printed route directions will be offered before leaving.
