River Road loop starting at Longfellow Grill. The address is above, at West River Parkway, on E Lake Street. It's a gorgeous run, heading north has some nice hills with potential to go anywhere from 3 miles on up! Loop distances:
Lake St to Franklin Ave: 3.5 mi
to Pedestrian bridge just north of Washington: 6.75 mi to Stone Arch Bridge: 8.25 mi
to Ford Pkwy: 5.5 mi, can be extended to 8.5 mi by continuing to Franklin before returning
to Lk Nokomis: River Rd south to Minnehaha Pkwy and continuing to/around Nokomis and back is 11.2 mi.
All paces are welcome to join this run; if you're unsure whether anyone else in your pace range might be there, be sure to put your pace in the comments and sign up early, so others in the same boat will know they're not alone and can plan to join you. If you have a long run and want to start earlier, by all means - post below; there is usually someone interested in the same, and it's easier to finish with a group than to start with a group / finish alone.

We'll wait outside for up to 5 minutes for everyone to show up, and then take off--PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK ACCESS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS, whether waiting inside or on the sidewalk/courtyard. This run will take place every week, whether or not the Organizer can make it - and whatever the weather - so \*please\* keep your RSVP up to date in order to ensure that folks looking forward to a group run don't end up running on their own.

Also, please use good hydration sense. If you're going over 10 miles, maybe put a gel in your pocket. While starving your body of nutrients and hydration in training may sound like a good way to get your body ready for harsh race day conditions, it's really just keeping your body from having the ability to train to its fullest potential--ask any sports nutritionist--and we want to see you perform to your best, always!
