It’s one of the only Thursdays in the year where we tell you not to come to Bike Bar for a run - instead come to the FLRC Annual Picnic at Treman State Park! But if you do decide to show up, I’m sure you won’t be the only one - we’ll set you off at 5:45pm and still make it in time to Treman for 6pm. See you somewhere!
As a reminder, we set up this weekly Thursday 30 minute run from Bike Bar over a year ago for students and other younger community around Ithaca to meet up, come for a run without any speed or distance requirements (and maybe afterwards stop for a drink too), and we’ve been meeting at 5:30pm every week since.
If you haven’t yet come to a Thursday night run, this is the perfect time - please reach out to @jennarice or I if you have any questions about coming for the first time, it is always lovely to have new folks attend their first FLRC run! And if you’ve come before, bring a friend!
We typically set off running at 5:45pm, go in differing pace groups for around 30ish minutes, before returning to the bar afterwards - you can decide with the people running with you where you want to go, and how far too. And how long you want to stay after!
Whether it’s hot, cold, rainy or dry, just keep checking and adjust accordingly (we also monitor using the club’s weather policies) - we’ll still be running (and stopping for a drink/ chat after), no matter what. If it’s dark (late October - early March), bring your reflective gear and/or headlamps and ditch your dark clothing!
Everyone is welcome, regardless of ability, pace, or anything else.
This is a free activity and club membership is not required, but please sign the waivers before your first run this year. You only need to sign the waiver once for all 2026 group runs, so if you’ve already signed it, you’re all set if you want to get involved in anything else.
