THIS/MILE GROUP COMMON QUESTIONS + FACTS

"CAN I BRING A STROLLER, ANIMAL, PARTNER OR PROP TO THE SEASSIONS?"

To maintain the safety and focus of our members-only run club, we ask that you do not bring strollers, props, additional people, or animals (including dogs) to our sessions. These items can pose safety and insurance risks, and we want to ensure that all participants can fully engage in the run without distractions.

RE: bringing a friend? please see below for additional details.

WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE FOR EACH SESSION?

We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to check-in, connect with the other runners and feel ready, but please be aware that our sessions will start promptly at the designated time with a group stretch. To ensure that everyone gets the most out of their run, we will begin at the hour, so please plan accordingly.

WHAT TYPE OF SNEAKER SHOULD I WEAR TO THE RUNS?

For optimal performance and to prevent injuries, we recommend wearing supportive sneakers. We suggest having at least two pairs of running shoes in rotation to allow for proper wear and tear and based on the terrain we will be on. A classic training running shoe that is good for road + track work as well as a trail shoe is recommended.

WHERE WILL WE RUN?

Each run location will be determined that week. We will reach out 24-48 hours prior to the run to update you on location and the type of run to expect.

WHAT TO BRING:

Water, running shoes, appropriate run attire (you can always de-layer, but it is good to have options with you in terms of a run jacket, l/s run shirt or hoodie - gloves and hat during colder weather), a light snack such as a banana or protein bar for after the session, pods or headphones if you enjoy listening to music while you run.

CAN I BRING A FRIEND?

We love when you bring a friend! We do ask that you reach out to us at least 24 hours in advance so that she can be signed up as a drop-in and sent all of the new runner info ahead of time.

HOW DO WE HANDLE INCLEMENT WEATHER?

If the weather is unsafe to run in, we will reach out via email if it is over 24 hours notice, but if the cancellation is same day or the night before, we will send you a text regarding the change.

IF YOU ARE A NEW RUNNER:

Most of our runners were new to running or returned to running after a long time of pause. Our sessions are designed to build your running capabilities up progressively over time. We will work with you to ensure that you are being challenge within your current fitness level.
