Kemp Mill Run (7 am)

Time: 7:00 am every Thursday

Place: Kemp Mill Shopping Center

Contact: Terri Scadron

Overview: This morning run, in conjunction with the original 5am Kemp Mill Run, began informally but has grown into a more formal offering to our weekly workout lineup! We meet near the Sligo, behind the bank and in front of the grocery store in the Kemp Mill Shopping Center lot. The route changes every week and is announced on Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. We always have options for a 3-mile or a 6-mile route. This is a hilly area, so runs are for strength, not speed. All paces are welcome, but the 7:00 am group generally consists of runners around a 12:30 min/mile pace (the 5:30 am group runs between an 8:00-10:00 min/mile pace). This workout is also great prep for MCRRC’s Kemp Mill (C)hills 5K/10K race.

The inclement weather cancellation policy follows MCPS announcements. If schools are delayed or closed, the run in cancelled. We recommend bringing a headlamp and reflective gear during the winter months.

The group has a communication forum on Google Groups. The communication forum will be used in the event of workout cancellations, location changes, or time changes, so it’s highly recommended that all interested parties join the forum. The route changes every week and is usually announced on Tuesdays.
