Who this crew is for

For people who want a relaxed run or run/walk without turning the evening into a production. Shorter options will be needed alongside the proposed 3–4-mile outing.

The proposed run

The crew concept uses an easy out-and-back with a shared turnaround time, allowing different paces to return together. Baylands is a route idea, not a confirmed meeting place. Seasonal daylight and park access must determine each listing.

Before you make plans

Do not rely on a colleague’s campus access for parking, changing, or storage. Future outings will identify a public meeting point. Open shoreline routes can feel very different in wind, heat, or darkness; have an alternative to adding distance.

This is a proposed crew, not a scheduled event. There is no assigned captain, live RSVP, or confirmed departure time. A launch listing must identify a responsible leader, meeting point, route, accessibility details, and cancellation channel.

Your road to the First 100

Use the crew as a place to build familiarity and a repeatable habit. There is no marathon commitment required to join the wider community. People aiming for a first finish can pair social support with a training approach suited to their own experience.

GOOD TO KNOW

Questions, answered.

Can I turn up this week?

No organized run is scheduled yet. Wait for a confirmed event listing; this page describes the intended crew format.

Is this free?

Casual community runs are intended to be free. Transport, gear, race entry, and any food are personal costs. No payment is collected here.

Can a friend from outside tech come?

Yes. The community welcomes friends and people in any field. No employer verification is planned.

LESS SCROLL. MORE STRIDE.
