Sabattus free weekly group runs open to all ages, abilities

Mar. 182019

SABATTUS — The Sabattus Rec Running Program is inviting area runners, joggers and walkers to join the free Wednesday night group runs.

The runs leave from in front of Mixer’s in the Sabattus Mini Mall at 6 p.m. every Wednesday, except in severe weather. There is no charge, and there is no pressure to do any more than desired. Groups usually go out for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the routes chosen. There are usually two or three pace/distance groups to choose from.
The running program is entering its seventh year, and the group run night has been a part of the program since its inception. While the number of participants in the winter sometimes dwindles to single digits, as the weather warms and daylight lasts longer, the groups increase in size and pace/distance options. The run/walks are open to all ages and abilities. Regular participants have experience in a wide variety of race distances and can often offer a wealth of knowledge and advice. Whether people are only interested in getting some exercise in a loose, social setting, or are training for their first race, or are competing in a new distance this year, the group runs can be just what they’re looking for.
