First Time Runners - FAQ

  • The Gainesville Run Club is a very casual run club that meets most weekends of the year for fun miles with good people.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • No. We are not in this for profit. We run to keep in shape and make friends.

  • That would be ideal. We strive to create the safest environment for runners, however there is some risk in running in public spaces.
