Group Runs
THE THURSDAY NIGHT JOGGING CLUB
Meet at the store every Thursday night at 6:30 PM for a fun, casual group run. Everyone is welcome... all paces, all distances. We're lucky to have so many scenic routes in the Excelsior area, around local lakes and along the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail.
NOTE: Generally on the 3rd Thursday of every month, the run will start at 5:30 so that we can all attend Trivia Night at Excelsior Brewing Company.
Please check our Facebook events to confirm time and details.
You don't need to register. You don't need to join anything. All you need to do is show up.

runwest
Join our friends from RunWEST for their weekly Saturday run. This large group meets in a different location somewhere in the west metro every Saturday morning at 7:30 AM.
Multiple loops will be mapped out so you can select your own distance. The group is large enough that there are a wide variety of paces represented every week.
Saturday route and meeting location are posted here on Thursday of each week:
