Good to Know

What to Expect

Expect a friendly, inclusive group with pace splits so runners can find a comfortable rhythm. The club is known for social energy, beginner-friendly routes, and a community feel rather than a competitive atmosphere. New runners can expect a welcoming crew and structured sessions such as track, trail, sunrise 5K, and social 10K runs.

Leadership

The club was founded by friends and appears to be community-led. Public sources suggest it started around 2018, but no single named organizer was verified in the provided sources.
