Informal group runs are held most Saturday mornings at the Blount Cultural Park, aka Shakespeare. If there is a race being held in town the turnout may not be as large, but generally speaking someone will be there.
The group meets at 7:00AM near the restrooms and ticket office. Here is a map to help you find the group. The start time will vary with the season (earlier in summer, later in winter), so check here for the latest information.
There are several runners at various speeds. In fact, walkers are welcome as well.
Typical distance covered is 3-5 miles, depending on the person. Occasionally someone in the group is training for a marathon or half-marathon and will be going longer.
The group meets for refreshments and fellowship at Starbucks around the corner afterward. Bring an extra towel, shirt/shorts and some cash, or just bring a drink with you if you're not a Starbucks fan.
