Sunday Skunkday group runs start Sunday, Feb 2 at 8:30 AM at Barton Hall

With the Winter Chill 5K series in the books, our next road race is the Skunk Cabbage Classic 10K and Half Marathon on April 6. Now is the perfect time to prepare by signing up for Skunk and increasing your long runs.

We’re here to help with our traditional Sunday Skunkday group runs aimed at showing you the course and providing amiable company. Check back here in the Group Runs category for details of each week’s run.

Every Sunday in February and March, we’ll meet inside the front doors of Barton Hall (facing Teagle Hall, where Skunk starts) at 8:30 AM. Barton and its bathrooms should be available; if not, we’ll meet right outside.

Everyone is welcome, even if you’re not an FLRC member or planning to run Skunk. Regardless, you must sign the FLRC Training Programs waiver once for 2025.

At 8:45 AM, we’ll split into rough pace/distance groups and run the Skunk course. For this first run, I recommend sticking with the course and turning around when you hit your desired distance. I’ll share other routes in the coming weeks.

Unless there’s a big Cornell event, there’s plenty of free (on Sunday) parking in the Crescent Lot east of Schoellkopf Stadium or in Cornell’s parking garage. Any questions, just ask. See you Sunday!

How’d the first week go? I live in Buffalo but I’m hoping to make one of the runs later this month as I’m signed up for the half

It was a good group—possibly a little smaller since it was about 10º out on a day when the temperatures were rising to 30º, so some people may have decided to hold off until later in the day. Looking forward to having you join us!
