The gO! Running Group is a Roseville based recreational running group that aims to provide group running opportunities for runners of all abilities. Although our focus is primarily on 5K to marathons, we have members who have completed triathlons (including Ironman events) and ultras. We train on both roads and trails. We currently meet three times per week - Sunday mornings and Tuesday/Thursday evenings.

Coach Josh is Going to Boston

Completely amazing, is the coach of our team
Off to Boston he's headed, a runner's ultimate dream.
Although we can't be there in person to cheer
Can't you hear us yelling "gO" Sexy!" from here?
Hop on that plane and take to the street

Josh is finally in with the Boston elite.
Out onto the course and straight through the finish
Such an accomplishment cannot be diminished.
How do you top a race such as this?

Ironman, of course, for the tri is his bliss.
Strong and determined, through swim, bike and run

Giving his all, conquering one by one.
Out of the water, onto the bike
Invincible is he with every foot strike.
Not one from a challenge is he to back
Going for Ironman #2, he's on the attack.

Through sun, wind and rain, Josh is known to gO!
Outlasting pain and fatigue, our respect for him grows.

By leading us all with an example so rare
Our coach has inspired us, none can compare.
So despite what we say and despite what you hear
To us, he's amazing, one to revere
Our coach is geared up to be put to the test
Now gO! get 'em Josh? Give it your best!
