Welcome to another term of UBC Rec Run Club!
We’re so excited to have you join us for our first run of the term Tuesday January 14th at the north entrance of the Student Recreation Center (6000 Student Union Blvd). Warm-up will start at 5 PM, so try to get there a few minutes early to sign in. Join us after for snacks and beverages! Let your friends know to join as well, just make sure they register!
IMPORTANT: As it’s the start of a new term, everyone must register and sign the waiver before our run on Tuesday! Even if you were registered last term, you must re-register at the start of each new term.
All attendees MUST wear a headlamp. We have some extras but please bring your own if you have one. Reflective gear is encouraged.
Each week we will post our routes, theme/social events, and any other information about the run in these blog posts! So make sure to check the blog before joining us each Tuesday.
How will it work?
We will have three differently paced groups each week. Feel free to switch groups week-to-week. Choose your own adventure!
