For anyone interested in running rough terrain, including major elevation changes. Flat, hard surfaces are not for rough runners. This is for relaxation + hard exercise in the outdoors -  so it is non-competitive, and at times a little walking in big elevation changes. But also not for the faint of heart - figure 15-25 minute per mile pace depending on terrain/average 18-20 min/mile. We'll pick locations and distances to suit the group and day, approximately every two weeks to start.

This is a group for beginner runners who want to run in a group of runners with similar skill set. We started this group because we believe most people that are not elite runners would shy away from a running group with elite runners. We wanted to open a door for beginner runners to learn the basics of running through interval training and in turn increasing their mileage, speed and confidence to tackle a 5K, 8K 10K or more.

I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. Do I believe the world's still there? Is it still out there? … Yeah. We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different. (Memento, 2000) No matter what anyone tells you - words and ideas can change the world. (Dead Poets Society, 1989) See, Mr. Gitts, most people never have …
