The group runs are always from 7 to 9 a.m., but many will be finished by 8 a.m., and some will start early or continue to run beyond 9 a.m. to get more miles in. There is no expectation that you will run for two hours, but the water drops will be out that long. Many will head to breakfast after an hour of running, but others will arrive much later. It’s all good.
