I am new to the area and would like to get back into running. I have not ran in over a year. Does the MRC support beginners/walkers building up to a runners pace?
Katie – The MRC is ALWAYS open to newer or returning runners. There are usually 3-4 slower paced or beginning runners who would appreciate company on any given Saturday morning, and on most Wednesday evenings. Please come out and join us!
May I bring a baby with a jogger stroller? And, if I am in the slow group, what time does the activity tend to wrap up?
Babies and toddlers in jogging strollers are welcome (and seen frequently at group runs!)
Slow group – well that really depends on which group you run with and how far you run. Our average group runs about 3-4 miles at about 9 – 11 minute miles…
Hope that helps!
Is there a minimum age limit to join the club?
There is no minimum age limit – but we do request that any single member joining who is under 18 obtain their parent or guardian’s signature and information on the membership form. Otherwise an entire household can join and add all members. Thanks for your interest in the Mebane Running Club!
I will be visiting Elon in a few weeks from Houston and would like to have a group to meet with for my regular Saturday long run. How long are your Saturday runs? thanks
You are more than welcome to join us! We have about six folks training for a half marathon right now so it really depends on when you will be here. Normally we have groups that run anywhere from 3-6 miles, but we have bunches running 8-12 due to training. September is REALLY busy around here for races so that might be an option as well. Let us know when you’ll be here and we’ll try and point you in the right direction. Mebane is an easy 15-20 minute drive from Elon.
Hope you enjoy your visit to the area!
Hey there. Was interested in getting into the running groups and was wondering if you had started/planned some runs for the OBX half? Am running mostly alone in Elon, so would be nice to have some company on the longer runs in the next two months. Thanks!
Jeff
Jeff –
We have several MRC members that are training for the OBX or City of Oaks Half-Marathons. Perhaps there are 5-7 total right now?
We also usually have 2-4 members on any given Saturday who are interested in longer runs (5+ miles.) While you are welcome to join us on Mondays or Wednesdays, the Saturday group run tends to have the largest participation, so you are most likely to find some folks who will be doing longer runs.
Come out and join us any time! You don’t need to be a club member to run with the club. Or post something on the Mebane Running Club facebook page. Hope to see you out with us soon.
