Worried about the skill levels of the group you sign up to run with??


Well don't on this workout...here is the plan.

1 mile warmup lap around the mountain....very relaxed pace.

From there we will spend as much time as everyone would like on the long part of the mountain...it is basically a .25 mile slope that starts out with a quick steep hill...levels out and then has one more small hill at the top. We will run to the edge of the steps at the top and then circle the pole there and head back down.

I will probably run 5 to 6 laps and then finish my day off with a easy pace lap around the back of the mountain.

There will be no pressure to stay with anyone as we will practically all be within a quarter mile of each other. All I ask is that we give some support and high fives when we pass on the hills!!


Want a little more of a challenge...well at the top of the hill before you turn around....try running down and back up the steps... before heading back down the hill!!

Note: If you are new to the group or just have questions about this run please email me. EVERYONE is welcomed!

    Looks like another awesome turnout! And even more meetup first timers. Dont be worried, more than half our group last time ran a 930-10 min/mile pace. Some slower and some faster!!

    Welcome to the running group Mia and Brian. This is a great choice for a meetup as it is a run that everyone can go at their own pace. We had 15 come to this meetup 2 weeks ago, and it included all different skill levels.

Who attended?

  • 21 attendees
    • “ Had a great run, met some nice runners. I will be back! ”
    • “ Great run - thanks Mike for arranging....Great to see you Chris after 25 years ”
    • “ A very comfortable, yet challenging run that was different since the course has both hills & stairs as part of the layout along with the flat surface surrounding Mt. Trashmore. Nice job on coordination Mike! ”
    • “ I am getting back into running and it was a very challenging workout. I like the way it is advertised because it allows for runners of all levels to feel comfortable about coming out and trying the workout. ”
    • “ Great and challenging! Nice bunch of people too. Thanks everyone - see ya again! ”
