Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Follow the group's Instagram account for the next monthly date, route, and meeting spot. The site does not describe a sign-up form..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Expect a casual run of about 4 to 5 miles at roughly 10 minutes a mile, with a stop at each artwork to learn about it and talk. The group stays together and regroups often. Biking the route is allowed, and dogs are welcome.
Tips for your first visit
- Carry only what you need, since storage at the start is not reliable.
- Some runs start at a running store where you may leave items, so check the Instagram post for the spot.
- The runs are meant to be social, so slow down if you are out of breath.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The runs suit all fitness levels and move at a casual pace, but the group's pages do not say how to sign up, and dates are posted only on Instagram..
