Saturday 26 October – The Meadows
a social pack run or walk starting at the Sprig + Fern, The Meadows.
Runners and Walkers all start at 2:30pm,
but please be there at 2:25 pm for
the briefing where the course will be explained.
Note that the course crosses Lower Queen Street twice,
so children will require parental supervision.
Our pack runs are a fun, non-competitive way
to enjoy running or walking together.
It’s perfect for all levels! Here’s how it works:
we run an out-and-back course, where everyone
starts at the same time. After 30 minutes, no matter
how far you’ve gone, we all turn around and head back.
This way, faster runners cover more distance but everyone finishes together.
It’s a social run, so you’ll naturally fall into
smaller groups with others running at your pace.
It’s a great chance to meet new people, share the experience,
and enjoy a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.
