Weekly Young at Heart Group Run #19 - August 7, 2025, 5:45pm from Bike Bar

It’s August, it’s warm, you may have just moved house (Ithaca is seemingly UHaul Central), but we’re still running on Thursday from Downtown, for those of you not at FLRC’s Forge the Gorge trail race at Fillmore Glen State Park!

Our run from Bike Bar on Thursday, August 7, 2025 at 5:30pm (setting off at 5:45pm) will set off as normal 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.

Also, this might be a good place to mention that Ithaca 5&10 is taking place on Sunday September 7 - a lot of people choose to approximately run this route on a Thursday, so why not sign up for some closed-street fun?!

Please reach out to @kcmccormick8 or myself if you have any questions about coming for the first time, it is always lovely to have new folks attend their first FLRC run - we had four last week (photo attached below of our subgroup that went to explore Ithaca Falls for the first time, including @Alex_Guyon et al), and I’m sure a few more of you have moved in over the last week too!

Everyone is welcome, regardless of ability, pace, or anything else. All paces and people are welcome! This is a free activity and club membership is not required, but please sign the FLRC 2025 Training Programs before your first run this year. You only need to sign the waiver once for all 2025 group runs, so if you’ve already signed it, you’re all set—check here.

As in previous weeks, it’s going to be a hot one, and may be affected by a higher than normal AQI because of the wildfire smoke - I’ll be running regardless, and I’m sure we’ll have enough people to (as always) steal all Bike Bar’s picnic tables out back too.

As the goal of this run remains to chat, and not to take steps to prematurely end your time on this Earth, please consider taking it slow, bringing water and cutting things short if necessary!
