FAQ’s:

How do you qualify for extra points based on weather?

If it is raining, snowing or precipitating of any kind when your run starts, the point is awarded.  Another bonus point is earned if the temperature is below 32 degrees when the run starts. Both of these metrics will be ultimately determined by the Fleet Feet staff member present at the run.

RULES

1. All participants must sign the waiver to run with our group
2. Check in AND check out at each Saturday group run
3. Points are generated once you check out with the Fleet Feet staff member
4. You must sign out! If you’d like to run farther than the standard routes, first checkout before continuing. This allows staff to have everyone checked out in a reasonable timeline.
5. Run at your own risk! Please consider safety and personal limits when joining a run. If you have questions on how to prepare for dark, cold, winter conditions, please ask our staff! We are ready to help you run through the winter and be safe!
