Notes on our runs: • How long are our runs?

Runs are usually between 30 minutes and 45 minutes, but you can make it shorter or longer based on your running level.

• How far do we run?

You can run as far as you want, but the runs are usually planned out to be between 2.5 and 5 miles. If there are a lot of people and different running levels, we can split up into groups of different distances.

• How fast do we run?

We have members who are fast and slow. This is not a race, you should run at a comfortable pace and enjoy yourself. If you get tired, walk or take a break and enjoy the views. • What do I need?

You need running shoes and a good spirit. Maybe bring some water for after the run, or some money to buy some.

• What should I wear? Use this site to help you dress for the conditions. http://www.runnersworld.com/what-to-wear

• Will we run if there is bad weather?

We run in the rain. You can choose if you want to run when there is bad weather. If there is weather so bad that it is not safe to run (i.e.: hurricane, lots of lightning) the meetup will be canceled. You can check the status of the meetup before you come.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
