Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Read the About page (the New? link on the site) to learn how a first run works, then sign up for the weekly trail email from the Mail link..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Expect about 1 to 1.5 hours and 3 to 5 miles, at any pace, in any weather. The run ends at a bar, where the group gathers and sings afterward, and beer is central to the group.
Tips for your first visit
- Bring $10 in Hash Cash and photo ID.
- Bring a headlamp; the site calls it a cranium lamp.
- Dress for the weather, since runs go in any weather.
- Check the weekly trail email, because the meeting place changes from trail to trail.
