Q: Where and when do you meet?
A: We meet at the Queens Park Bandshell in Queens Park, New Westminster BC. See the
Where and When tab for more information.
Q: I'm not a very fast runner. What if I can't keep up?
A: Don't worry! We have a number of pace groups and we'll ensure you are matched with the right group. Chances are good that we already have several people at exactly your pace! No one gets left behind - ever. Ideally, you can comfortably run for 45 minutes, but even if you're not there yet, we'll try and help you get there. Whatever your pace, we have a group for you!
Q: How will I know what pace group to join?
A: You don't have to. We'll ask you a few questions and match you to a group initially. After that you're free to adjust as needed.
Q: Do you run in the rain?
A: But of course! It's an excuse to buy all that nice running gear from the Sugoi sale!
Q: Can I join anytime?
A: You sure can. You are welcome to come try us out anytime. We recommend coming on a week night for a shorter run, but it's fine to check us out on a Sunday as well.
Q: I'm just starting to run. Should I get some more mileage under my belt before I join?
A: That's just silly talk! You should join as soon as possible so you don't miss out on our scenic runs and post run refreshments. Ideally, you can run continuously for 45 minutes (at any speed) so that we can match you up with people at your pace. But, if not, we still want to help you get there and will do our best to help.
Q: Where do you run?
A: The short answer is all over the place! The great thing about group runs is that you can discover new places and running routes throughout the Lower Mainland that you might not have explored on your own. We often run on local trails in New Westminster, Burnaby and beyond. We sometimes go on destination runs with brunch or coffee afterwards. At the start of each run we determine the route by mutual consensus.
Q: I don't run. Do you have walking groups?
A: Sorry, at this time we are strictly a running group.
Q: Can I run with my stroller?
A: We don't allow strollers in order to comply with safety and insurance rules.
Q: Can I bring my dog?
A: We love dogs too! However we do not allow them on our group runs for safety and insurance liability reasons.
