Here’s a post with the most important information you’ll receive all evening (nothing else is going on, right?) - in anticipation of the upcoming dark nights and cold weather, Bike Bar has graciously agreed to close their side room especially for FLRC for our Thursday Night Social! That means you’ll be able to leave clothing and other items (at your own risk) in a closed room whilst we’re out on our runs, and we’ll also have the space available for post-run too. Massive thanks to Steve and Chris at Bike Bar for everything they do to accommodate us. See you there on Thursday!
As a reminder, we set up this weekly Thursday 30 minute run from Bike Bar around 18 months 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.
