GROUP RUNS & WORKOUTS
Run, walk, or jog. All ages and paces are welcome.
Our group runs are open to everyone, members and non-members alike.

We follow a no-drop policy: nobody is ever left behind.
Group leaders help guide routes so everyone finishes safely.
Children and youth are encouraged to join, but anyone under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Multiple route options are offered so all paces can start and finish together.
