While this is a club group run, we always welcome people coming out for a few runs to give it a try before joining. You will treasure the camaraderie of our running family. It's a diverse, extremely friendly group.
Sunday runs are from 7 to 8 a.m. because most people do their long runs on Saturday. Also, when the weather is hot, some will start early and then return to meet up with the rest of the group.
The event starts with the group circle. I introduce everyone, then I take a group photo.
We don't try to stay in a pack, but rather, string out, each falling in with others at that pace.
Go as fast as you want, as far as you want, and turn around when you want. No rules! You do you!
Just see me for a Visitor Waiver when you arrive.
We meet up at the fountain behind the Starbucks at 100 Main Street.
Water drop at the entrance to the park. That way you pass it on the way in and on the way out. Two sets of restrooms in Philippe Park.
To the tip of the park and back is about 4.5 miles. For more miles, continue on Bayshore to the Ream Wilson Trail. A second water drop will be where the trail turns inland, and that’s 1.5 miles from the start. Possible to do another ten miles if continuing all the way to the Long Center.
Also, restrooms and water at the Del Oro Park Trail Head below the McMullen Booth overpass, about a half mile from where the trail turns inland.
Of course, many people turn around much sooner. It’s all good. You do you!
