Run Club FAQs
Run Club FAQs
Can I drop-in and determine if the R&R Run Club is a good fit for me?

Drop-in to try any day or any group to see if it is the right fit for you. Drop-in fee is $10 per session.

What gear do I need?

Most importantly, make sure you have a pair of comfortable, and well-fitted running shoes.

Whether you decide to wear shorts or pants, or a long sleeve versus a tank will depend on what temperature range you tolerate best. Regardless, consider clothing made with moisture-managing materials as they help with regulating body temperature.

Come see one of our knowledgeable Rackets & Runners staff to learn more about what attire is most suited for you.

What if I’ve never run before?

Everyone’s fitness levels are different, but generally we recommend beginners start with Learn to Run Thursdays.

If your fitness level surpasses the clinic, then try out Run Faster/Stronger Tuesdays. There are a range of pace groups to run or walk/run with, and we will make sure you start at an appropriate pace.

Where do we run?

Most runs start from Rackets & Runners. There are several routes that take advantage of the scenic surroundings and excellent running paths. On occasion, we have field trips.

If the starting point is different, we let you know via a weekly newsletter or a post in the R&R Run Club WhatsApp community.

Is there a secure location to leave my stuff?

Sure thing - we have an area in the store dedicated to storing your belongings.

Do you have any social time?

After every Saturday run, we head over to Pallet Coffee Roasters for post-run beverages and treats. In addition to that, we meet on a semi-regular basis outside of Run Club for birthday celebrations, destination runs, and other fun events. It’s a supportive group with a lot of friendly faces.

Anything else I should know?

Just come out and have some fun! We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but you’ll get a good workout in.
