Groups run from 8 min/mile up to 12 min/mile, in steps of 30 seconds per mile, so you can find one that matches your pace rather than rounding up or down. Routes are roughly 5k or 10k depending on the group. Each group has its own run leader, and our larger groups often have a tail runner too, so nobody gets left behind.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eGroup choice is entirely your call each week.
