Our weekly Thursday run from Bike Bar has been going for a WHOLE YEAR!
@kcmccormick8 and I set up this a year ago for younger workers, students and other younger residents in the local area to meet up (as well as anyone who considers themselves Young at Heart, of course!), come for a run and maybe stop for a drink after without any pressure to ‘run fast’ or do any particular distance, and we’ve been meeting at 5:30pm come rain or shine, ice or wildfires, plantar or race-ready… you get the idea.
And we just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who’s come on a run with us! We’ve made new friends, others have seen romances blossom (!) and it’s been great to see people running with others they’ve met through the club too.
So we’ll be having a little celebration after this week’s run on Thursday, March 26 with pizza, birthday cake and just general good vibes. And who knows - the weather might also be warm for us too! So, if you haven’t yet come to a Thursday night run, this is the perfect time - please reach out to @kcmccormick8 or me 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 for a chance to chat in Bike Bar afterwards - you can decide with the people running with you where you want to go, and how far too.
Whether it’s hot, cold, rainy or dry, just keep checking and adjust accordingly - 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.
