About the group

We meet every Tuesday and Thursday morning (regardless of weather) at the Forum Trailhead of the MKT Trail at 5:30 AM. map with X

Here's a couple of pictures of the orange bracelets we wear to remind ourselves of our commitment:

We split up into groups as we run. The A group is the fastest; they complete a course that's longer than 7 miles in an hour. The B group is expected to complete a 6-mile course in an hour, and the C group is expected to complete a 5-mile course in an hour. There are folks that just come to socialize, too; if you've just run a marathon the day before, come walk your dog for an hour to start your day!
