Last January, I joined the 1st Greentennial Run with a friend. For a new name in the running world, Greentennial sure did not disappoint me. It was a clean run with lots of activities to do afterward! Because of the success of this run, several runners asked if they could organize another run, and so they did. But just before they finished it, the tragedies in Japan happened which led them to organize a run for the benefit of the victims of Japan. They only had a few days to prepare for Run for Japan but it was more organized and fun than many other long-planned races I joined in the past. Which leads me to their 3rd and upcoming run….
