Organiser's Description
WEEKEND GROUP RUNS
We hold a group run at 7:30 AM on one weekend day each week of the month.
* FIRST AND SECOND SUNDAY. Open to everyone, varying run leaders, but usually Dan Chironno.
* We hold a "MEET THE ROAD RUNNERS" run at Rockland Lake on the THIRD SUNDAY of every month. That run is particularly good for beginning runners or those new to the club looking for running buddies as there will always be someone there from Club Leadership and we'll make sure NO ONE RUNS ALONE, whatever your pace.
* FOURTH SATURDAY. For those people who work on Sunday, this is your opportunity to run with us.
* FIFTH SUNDAY. Whenever we get five Sunday's in a month.

At Rockland Lake, we meet at Parking Field #6 (colloquially known as the "Fishing Station").

We usually run one or more loops of the inner path, clockwise around the lake. The first loop will be "all abilities" and we'll make sure no one gets left behind. After that, you are free to join a pace group that suits you and do extra loops or venture onto the outer roadway. There's sure to be someone there who knows the routes.
