New Running Schedule!

Our tentative new running schedule will be 4:15 Monday-Friday at Marsh Plaza!

For each run, there will be two groups. One group will run 3 miles, and the other group will run 5 or 6 miles. You can always chose to run more or less than this.

Meet us at Splash!

As much as we'd hate the summer to end, we're all looking forward to the start of the Fall semester to meet our new and returning runners. Come meet us at Splash! on August 31 from 11:00 - 2:00. We'll either be running around on Nickerson Field or relaxing at our table. Whatever you choose to do, stop by and hang out for a bit to learn more about what we're all about!

Fun Runs

We have taken a break for the summer but look forward to seeing everyone in the fall.  Keep an eye on our calendar for the first fun run of the year!

Running Shoes Go Green!

Brooks has recently come out with a new shoe technology which allows a midsole to break down in a landfill 50 times faster than the current EVA midsole.  The technology is called BioMogo.  Brooks already uses 100% recycled laces!
