Schedule of Club Runs

• We have three regularly scheduled runs. They are never canceled.

• ALL RUNS start and end in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, at the bottom of the “Rocky” steps, to the right, by the sign with the museum’s hours, and to the left of the statue of Rocky. (Map)

• Everybody is always welcome.

• For all our runs, we split into groups based on pace and distance, so that everybody has somebody to run with.

• We wait back at the museum for all our runners to return.

We normally head to Bishop's Collar, 24th and Fairmount for drinks and dinner after our Tuesday evening runs. All are welcome even if you can't make the run: 7:45pm. Location of dinner is subject to change and changes will be noted on the yellow banner on the home page.

Thursday Evening Runs

Thursday evening runs are hillwork or speedwork, depending on whether it is light or dark at the time of the run (there is no lighting on Lemon Hill). The decision of when to switch from hills to speed or speed to hills is made each season by the Thursday night regulars. There is no set date for this switch. We meet at the usual spot at 6:30pm and proceed to either Lemon Hill for hill work or the 3/4 mile mark at Girard Ave bridge for speed work.

Everybody is always welcome, regardless of their pace or how many splits they plan to do.

Everybody is welcome on Thursday evenings even if they don't plan to do hills or speed.

Other unofficial runs also occur. Anyone who has come to our runs and/or activities may lead an ad hoc run or suggest a permanent new run. Please check our message board to see if anything is going on this week.
