INTRODUCTION:  Our team is open to runners (18 years+), of all abilities and training goals.  Some of our members train for shorter 5k or 10K events, and others are training for their half or full marathon.  Many of our members qualified for the Boston Marathon in their first training year!

You don't have to be an experienced or a fast runner to join our team. Many of our runners are under 9 minutes per mile, while others run 10-11 minutes miles, and some train in a run/walk pattern that equals 12-14 minute miles.
