GROUP RUNS

Lately there have been three popular group runs:

Saturday 8AM from the GLRR office, downtown Lowell
Sunday 8AM from Gold's Gym (now forever fitness?), Chelmsford
Tuesday 6:00PM from Hookslide Kelly's, downtown Lowell

See details below

Saturdays 8:00AM GLRR Group Run
 

These runs are on from April 1st until December 31st.
During January and February we do the Fudgcicle 5K series on Saturdays
During March we train for the Boston Marathon on the Boston Course

All of the runs start from the GLRR Office - which is located at 116 Merrimack St in downtown Lowell

The GLRR office is upstairs in the second floor - follow the hallway as it twists and turns - you come to the office.  We have a fridge, kitchen and most important - a bathroom

You do not need to be fast to participate in this group run.  I (Glenn) do most of my heavy training during the week.  I am committed to running your pace (provided it's not faster than 7:30s).  Check the blog - I've done short runs, longs runs and slow runs (as slow as 15 min pace) - so if I'm there, you will have a partner!  No excuses allowed!!

Here are a few of the courses we run:

4.5 Mile Loop

8.7 Mile Loop

10 Mile Loop

12.7 Mile Belvedere Loop

11.25 Mile East End & East Dracut Loop

Baystate Prep 18 Miler

 

Sundays 8:00AM Non-GLRR Group Run
The time for this run changes as the weather changes - basically we try to avoid the bitter cold and blistering heat.

Sunday Group Runs from Gold's Gym (which now appears to the Forever Fitness) in Chelmsford (directions)

Many of us also run with a group from Gold's Gym in Chelmsford on Sunday's. 
This is not an official  club event -
Most of these runs tend to be longer, faster and feature more hills than the club runs.

Here are a few of routes we run:

Robin Hill 9 Mile

Westford Center 11 Mile

Tyngsboro Bridge - Dunstable Rd - Sherburne Rd - 12 Miler
     - add-ons for 15 to 22 by going farther along the river in Lowell

Flat 13 Mile

Tyngsboro Bridge 15.5 Mile

21.5 Mile Loop

Tuesdays 6:00 PM Not Good Times Group Run
This is a continuation of the GoodTimes race series - until the race resumes again.  So we start in late August and continue until April

Tuesday Night Group Runs from Hookslide Kelly's in downtown Lowell (directions)

When there is enough light we run parts of the GoodTimes race route and around the river.  When the light goes bad - we try the following:
