Questions
Before you come.
Do I need to register in advance?
No. Just show up. We meet every Thursday at 7pm. No sign-up, no fee.
Where can I find the route?
The route changes every week. We always post it day of on our Instagram and Strava.
What is the pace?
We have four pace groups: 5:00, 5:30, 6:00 and 6:30 per kilometre. If you run slower, complete the route at your own pace and meet everyone at the finish. We usually have a sweep making sure every runner gets back.
Do you run year-round?
Yes. We run every Thursday, year-round. We only cancel in rare cases when conditions are unsafe. Check Instagram or Strava before leaving if the weather is severe.
Do I need to be fast?
No. Four pace groups run from 5:00 to 6:30 per kilometre, and runners who go slower finish the route at their own pace and meet everyone at the end.
