Together, let's dream up the new Flying Blue community of runners !
Did anyone else receive this seemingly idiotic email ?
It seems AF or AFKL is planning to set up a program for runners. I am a runner, but I cannot imagine organising where I stay on my trips based on recommendations from AF.
It seems they also plan to offer packages to races abroad, I guess this also seems like a bit far fetched to me for them to be emailing the FB members about. Don't they have other things to do to make the program not so bad

A Flying Blue community of runners? That is no doubt the first step towards (pick your preference):
1. eliminating buses at AMS and CDG to bring passengers to remote stands
2. changing minimum connection time at AMS and CDG to 25 minutes
3. moving the Schengen Crowd Lounge at AMS to the top of the G-pier
4. getting read of assigned seats to follow U2 and FR
5. putting a box of Tuc crackers in the galley and telling pax to come pick up their own 'meal'
6. finally, recognition by AFKL that all FB members are running away

why not a FB community for runners ?
yes i receive the same email and i was thinking about a joke
as i am a runner i see that as a good initiative. when i travel i always take my running shors with me. so if i can have good tips from FB on the place to run why not ? i was a little frustated to see FB supporting a golf community. i don't what is the exact goal of this running community but
