Join us for weekly group runs on Saturday AMs and Tuesday PMs. We run up to 5 miles, and start out with a slow group pace with turnaround points for people just getting started. We also run races as a team!

Curious about the hullabaloo around barefoot and minimalist running? Experience what a difference a few simple technique changes can make. And yes, you can keep your shoes on (most of us do!)

Minimalist running is simply running more naturally, with a limited reliance on unnatural shoe technology--whatever level works for an individual's body. We follow the principles of the POSE method of running and hold POSE clinics with team leader Ken Schafer. Ken is the only Level III POSE Coach in Boston and contributing author on POSE Method publications. Learn more about Ken at http://www.yourposerunningcoach.com/ and http://www.posecoachblog.com/

Learning to adapt natural running principles to your gait can help the shod or unshod save your body from the pavement, become more efficient, and maybe even inspire you to think differently about running.

All levels welcome.

Come run with us. Look forward to sharing the journey!
