Who is an Advanced Runner?

We've had some questions about the advanced group. Hopefully, I can answer all of them.

If you can run 2 miles without stopping and are at least 14 years old, you can run in the advanced group. Advanced does not always mean speed. We recognize that not every runner is capable of sub 10-minute miles. That's why we have a sweeper. You won't be left out there on your own.

Also, even though we call them rookie runs, there's room for all levels. The Greenbelt runs at Riverview Park are for both the main and advanced groups. The Tuesday and Thursday morning runs at the track are for main, advanced, and walkers. Wednesday Night Walkers are for, well, walkers. That group meets at the park at Darden school (at the end of Massie Rd).

We had a good turnout this morning at the track and you all did a great job of looking out for the people that were doing speed work. Rocket and Cathie tell me that it stopped raining in plenty of time for yesterday's Greenbelt run. Remember, we run in the rain, but lightning cancels.

See you at the rookie runs.
