WHAT TO EXPECT
MILEAGE & ROUTES
Saturdays operate differently than our Wednesday runs.
SATURDAY GROUP BREAKDOWN
Our Saturday runs are built for longer miles and endurance building. Whether you're maintaining your base or training for an upcoming race, this run provides structure while still allowing flexibility for runners at different levels.
A shorter distance option for runners who want a relaxed community run or lighter mileage for the day.
Groups are arranged by pace based on turnout. The 3 mile group is for beginners in which the pace ranges from 9:00-12:00min/mi
For longer distances, we communicate checkpoints and do our best to keep runners on course. Please arrive on time for route details and come prepared with hydration and fuel as needed.
For long runs, you may:
Self-pace, or
Run alongside a designated captain
Routes are shared on STRAVA in advance and reviewed during pre-run announcements.
NO BAG CHECK AVAILABLE
There is no bag check available for this run. Please plan accordingly and travel light.
PARKING
Paid street and garage parking nearby, but availability varies.
METRO ACCESS
Navy Yard is accessible via:
Navy Yard-Ballpark station

Approximately a 10– minute walk to the meet-up location.
WATER
We encourage runners to bring their own hydration.
Water may be available post-run, but this is not guaranteed weekly.
RULES AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
-
Before the Run: Arrive early, check in, listen to pre-run announcements, and line up with your appropriate pace group.
During the Run:
Run on the correct side of the street/path as directed by the group lead.
Be mindful of traffic, pedestrians, and other runners.
Use respectful language and personal space with fellow runners.
Notify a run leader if someone needs help or falls behind.
After the Run: Cool down, socialize respectfully, and thank your pacers and volunteers.
-
Each run, introduce yourself to at least 2 people in your pace group. In the unfortunate event something were to happen while hitting the pavement, its important someone knows your name. And why not get to know a couple new people?!
-
Please listen to the run captains call outs and instructions. We obey traffic laws and run on sidewalks. Please also be aware of your surroundings and the people running with you. Be respectful to pedestrians walking and sharing the sidewalks and bike lanes.
-
We love seeing your pets at our runs and welcome them to join the community.
To keep everyone safe and comfortable:
All pets must be leashed at all times.
Please be mindful that while your dog may be friendly, not everyone may feel the same.
When running in group formation, we ask that you position yourself toward the back of the pack when possible.
Keep your pet close and prevent jumping, lunging, or aggressive behavior toward runners, pedestrians, or other pets.
We know you love your pet — and we’d love to love them too, even if it’s from a respectful distance.
Let’s keep our runs safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone.
