There’s no “right” reason to show up.
Most people show up for one of four reasons. Find the one that sounds about right and start there — you can always wander into the others later.
I’ve never really run before.
Our Run/Walk Program runs three times a year (Spring, Fall, Winter). Ten weeks of group workouts with walk breaks built in, ending in a 5K together. The coaches were all beginners once.
I’m training for a specific race.
Training groups for the 10K, half, first marathon, and experienced marathon. Real plans, real coaches, and a Sunday long run with a group on the same workout you are.
I want people to run with.
Free drop-in runs somewhere in the county almost every day: Sunday at Ken-Gar, Tuesday at Blair track, Wednesday pub runs, Saturday mornings around the area. No sign-up — just bring water and turn up.
I’m chasing PRs.
Train with the Competitive Racing Team, push pace at Speed Development, or run the tests at the Run Performance Lab. People who'll match your tempo and actually want to hear the splits afterwards.

Do I have to already be a runner?
No. A lot of our members joined as walkers, or as people who hadn’t run since high school. The Run/Walk Program is built for exactly that — start where you are, finish a 5K with the group ten weeks later.
How fast do I have to be?
No pace requirement. Drop-in runs have pace groups from 7-minute miles down to 14-minute walking groups. Our race results list everyone, and the cheering at the finish line doesn’t get quieter when slower runners come in.
Can I try a run before I join?
Yes. You’re welcome at any drop-in run as a guest before you commit. The Sunday morning run at Ken-Gar Picnic Area is the easiest one to walk into — it’s the biggest, and someone will introduce themselves.
Does my spouse have to join separately?
No. The “Me + 1” and “My household” memberships cover everyone at the same address under one registration and one renewal — each person still gets their own bib.
Can my kid join? What about my college-age kid?
Yes to both. Kids under 25 are included on a “Me + 1” or “My household” membership at no extra cost. If they want to join on their own — say, their parents aren’t members — the Junior tier is $25/year.
What's actually included in my membership?
Free entry to 20+ club races a year, all the weekly drop-in runs and track workouts, the Run Performance Lab, the annual banquet, and the newsletter. Plus access to 15+ training programs (Run/Walk through marathon) — these carry a separate registration fee, but it’s a fraction of comparable coached programs anywhere else. Pick up your bib and reusable timing chip at your first Low Key race, then bring them to every club race after that and walk straight to the start.
