Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are the requirements for membership?
A. You must be 21 years old and have an interest in running.
Q. Are there annual dues?
A. No. We are a casual group and our expenses are low. If there is a need for funds for
something for the club or something we’d like to do, we’ll discuss it and take
up a collection or have a fundraiser.
Q. I run pretty slow and I’m worried I’ll get left behind on the runs. Is there a place for
me in this club?
A.There’s a place for everyone in our group. The Thursday run is a great place to start because
we run loops and we can stay together. You can run as many or as few loops as you like.
Friends and family (and pets) who would like to run/walk are also encouraged to join.
Q. I’m a beginning runner. What support can the club give me?
A. We don’t have any formal training plans, but we were all beginning runners at one time. The
club members can share tips and programs that worked for them, and the camaraderie of the
group may help you meet or exceed your expectations (e.g., run farther than you would on your
own) and have fun while doing it.
Q. How do I sign up?
A. Come to a couple of group runs and meet us. If you find yourself wanting to joining us regularly
(or irregularly), then register using the Forum. You will be given access to it no more than a day
or two thereafter (sooner if you bug the right members).
