Group Runs

We all love to run, but sometimes it can get a bit lonely. Break out of those solo blues and come join us for one of our group runs.

Millburn:

NEW! Saturdays at 9:00 am - Spring Marathon/Half Marathon training runs led by Geoff and Kristina.  Long runs that help prepare runners for the Long Branch Half or New Jersey Marathon in May, or any other spring endurance run.  Every route will also have turnoffs for those wanting to do a shorter distance.  As the runs extend over one hour, we will have fluids and gels stashed along the route at key points.  Check here every week for an updated course map of the weekend run.  This run starts Saturday, January 7 and continues until the end of April.

NEW!  Sundays at 8:00 am - Join Mike for a group run at the Mountain Lakes Club in Mountain Lakes, NJ.  Distances will vary with each group and with the weather.

Tuesdays at 6:00 pm - Summer Cross Country training runs, led by Myles, Pat, and Jeff.  Open to all high-school and college XC athletes, or anyone wanting to get a great training run in every week of the summer. 

 

NEW! Wednesdays at 6:00 pm - Joe leads a 3-6 mile training run through the scenic countryside around the Basking Ridge store.

Long Branch:

Wednesdays at 6:30 pm - Join Marty, Kelly and Geoff for a 4-8 mile cruise on the Long Branch boardwalk and surrounding neighborhoods.

Thursdays at 6 pm - Meet Kelly at Hartshorne Woods for a 1-hour trail run in the area's best forest. Meet at the Rocky Point lot at the end of Grand Tour Drive for a prompt 6pm departure.  (This run has been suspended for the winter and will return when daylight allows.)

Thursdays at 6 pm - Join Moira and her Jersey Girls for a relaxed training run on the Long Branch boardwalk.

Sundays at 8 am - Join Marty for an endurance run along the Jersey Shore.

All runs (except where noted) start at a Sneaker Factory store, so you'll have a place to get water and energy gels, and you're welcome to stash your gear while you're running. All group runs are open to runners of all abilities; however, if you're not confident in your ability to stay with the group, consult with the run leader so that you know your way back to the store.

Additionally, during the summer the Sneaker Factory Running Club hosts group runs at Loantaka Brook Reservation every Tuesday at 6:30 pm.  Meet at the Seaton Hackney Farm parking lot off South Street.  Check the club forum for updates.
