A running party.

Join us every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday (and some Saturdays) for a free community run. All paces are welcome. It is easy, just sign the waiver, arrive a few minutes early, and our Run Hosts will help you get started and answer any questions. Want to know what to expect?

Weekly Schedule

Monday Night in Highland

Every Monday at 6pm

Bringing the party to St Paul, join us for our weekly Monday night community run. We offer route options from 2-7 miles and, as with all of our runs, you will find a variety of paces from sub-7 to over 13 minutes per mile and a robust walking crew. Every other week we swap between two sets of routes, and Team Northbound vs. Team Southbound is one of the more controversial topics at the shop. Are you an overachiever looking for some extra credit? Sign the waiver before your first run.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are these runs free?

Yes, all of our group runs are free.
Is it truly all paces?

Yes! There is a bell curve of paces ranging from 7 min/mile pace runners up to 13 min/mile pace runners. The largest groups tend to range between 8-10 min pace. There are usually walking groups too, based on who is coming back from injury or recovering from a marathon.
Do I need to be a serious runner to join your runs?

No. These are community runs open to all abilities. We will have serious runners, casual runners, new runners, and everything in between.
How many people show up?

Generally between 100 and 300 runners show up at any given run. Oftentimes more, rarely less. Once we hit the road, the group thins out into smaller pace groups.
Any best practices for those showing up for the first time?

Come 10 minutes early, we'll show you where you can store your things, give directions to the restrooms, and have you sign our waiver.

Put yourself out there! This is a welcoming group, full of runners who are new to the area and/or the community. It's a great way to meet new people - just be willing to say hello.
Where can I park?

Street parking is widely available near both stores.
What are the distances?

For our weekly runs, we offer distances between 2 and 7 miles. We all start together for the first mile or so, and peel off from there.

For the ALRs, we offer routes between 6 and 20 miles, with a few options in between.

All routes are listed above so that you can feel prepared for your first run!
