Group Runs

Put on your running shoes and join us on one of our weekly social runs. The runs vary by distance and difficulty level, but all runners of all abilities are welcome. We're not out to race, but rather to enjoy a group to run with.

The Monday Night Jam meets at the entrance to the parking lot of Murchison Middle School, under the shade trees. To get there, from Mopac, go west on Far West, left on Hart, and right onto North Hills.

The run route begins on North Hills just east of Thorncliffe (at Murchison Middle School) and includes the infamous Ladera Norte Hill, and a gradual fast downhill finish. Approximately 5.3 miles.

People can cut it short (and cut off the infamous hill) and still enjoy the fast gradual downhill finish. Approximately 3.6 miles.

Hilly course, carry your own water.
