Start the year with a run — 01/05/23

cover page of Hippo, Start the year with a run, showing man and woman running down road in snow

Is starting (restarting?) the habit of going for a run part of your plan for the new year? We find race series and running groups to help you get motivated to hit the streets. Like a little competition? We also round up some upcoming races. And, for those who just can’t face a run in the cold, we consider some places with indoor tracks.

Also on the cover Angie Sykeny catches up with cartoonist Marek Bennett to talk about his latest book (page 6). John Fladd explains how to make a gin sour (page 25). And looking for some post-holiday nightlife? Check out the Music This Week listing of live music at area bars and restaurants (starting on page 31).
