First-time runners FAQ
What are we?
The Gainesville Run Club is a very casual run club that meets most weekends of the year for fun miles with good people.
How do I get started?
Just show up at the specific time listed on the calendar. On most weekends either Kathy or Aaron will be there to lead the group. Introduce yourself to either one of them and they will get you situated for the upcoming run.
What if I’m the slowest person there?
We have a “no runner left behind” policy. There will be someone there to run with you! We have no set agenda for each run and we are very flexible and sensitive to everyone’s needs.
Where do we meet?
We meet at Rollins Ford Park at the pagodas near the entrance. Parking is free. If we have an early run and the gates are not open yet, we normally park right outside the gates.
Does this cost anything?
No. We are not in this for profit. We run to keep in shape and make friends.
Do I need to sign the disclaimer before I arrive?
That would be ideal. We strive to create the safest environment for runners, however there is some risk in running in public spaces. Read the disclaimer.
