We are so excited to meet you. MRun welcomes all athletes, regardless of speed or ability level. If you're a runner or would like to start running, MRun is the perfect club for you. All members of MRun have one thing in common: they love to run! (Unless you're into field events, in which that case, that's cool too!)
Am I fast enough to join MRun?
Absolutely! MRun has runners of all abilities and everyone is welcome to join us on our daily runs. No matter how fast you are, there are always other people who are just as fast and excited to run with you. If you're still worried, come try out a run with us!
How long are the runs?
Daily runs are held Monday through Friday and three distances are offered: a 3, 5, and 7+ mile run. On Sundays a long run group meets and offers distances of 8, 10, and 12+ miles.
Where and when do we meet?
Location and time vary based on practice type.
Fall Season:
What parts of MRun are mandatory?
None of it! Absolutely no MRun events are mandatory, including daily practice, workouts, and meets. Some members only come to daily practice and never do workouts or meets, while others can only come a few days per week because of class time conflicts, and there are those that fair warm weather, only coming in the fall or spring. The most important thing to remember about MRun is to do whatever you want in the club, whether that's relieving stress with a casual daily run or training to compete and set new PRs!
Does MRun run all year long?
Yes! MRun meets all year long, even throughout the entire winter.
Are there sprinters or field event competitors in MRun?
Yes! MRun's group of sprinters and field event competitors is highly competitive and growing. If you competed in high school track and field, this is the perfect opportunity to continue your track and field career and even compete against various varsity teams in addition to club teams. If you are new to track and field and hoping to get involved, every level of competition is available and we would love to have you join. There are no tryouts and we encourage all types of runners, new and old.
I'm afraid I'll feel left out because everyone in MRun already knows each other!
New people come to run all the time throughout the year. The club is very welcoming and all MRunners enjoy meeting new people and running with them. Coming out in the fall at the beginning of the school year especially has the advantage of the presence of tons of other new runners to meet and become friends with.
How do I get started?
Just show up and run with us!
