The Wednesday Night Laundry Runners is a loosely organized running club located on the Monterey Peninsula and Salinas, California and was formed one August in the mid 1960's after several runners ran as fast as they could go through the Del Monte Forest in Pebble Beach for about an hour and then consumed large quantities of pizza and "beverages".
The WNLRs are registered with the USATF as Team 133.
Qualifications for membership are: 1) A love of running 2) A promise to run the infamous Wednesday Night Laundry Run and make it to the top of Congress Hill 3) A donation of $15.00 per year to cover newletter production and mailing costs and USA Track and Field association yearly dues for the Club.
