The best way to summarize this group is: We put in the miles, but we aren't in a hurry. I am both a newbie to the Bay Area and a new runner, but I have completely fallen for both. I usually do trail runs, either in Marin or in the city. Let's try to do a mix of runs, in terms of both location and trail vs …

This is a group for those who live around Lake Merritt and want to run as well with a group. It's always easiest to start a running routine when you are in a group.

Come out and meet other local runners for great camaraderie and motivation. Some of us jog, some of us run, some of us race, but we all have fun! The key is to show up and give it a try -- the sooner you come out and join us, the sooner you will be on the road to fitness, health, and meeting lifelong running friends!

Hello. Kelly here...Was amazed to find that the closest baby jogging group was almost 50 miles away from Marin County! Why not strap our little ones into our baby joggers and run right here in beautiful Marin?

Let's plan on meeting at the Corte Madera town park by the kids play space on Wednesdays at 10 am during winter hours with new ho …

… Currently, I'm mapping a walking route on the Camino Real, which traced some indigenous footpaths and may have been part of the migration trail from Asia. In early April, I'll start the "official" California Missions walk, covering 800+ miles in about 55 days. Afterward, I'll create a free, online trail guide - so that anyone can walk it too.  Though the missions can be reminders of the often cruel legacy of the Spanish crown, the path and the journey are timeless. Everyone who follows it will h …

… For your own safety please don't wear sandals or flip flops on any hikes.  Trail shoes, hiking boots, and in some cases good quality sneakers (but generally trail shoes or boots are highly recommended) will ensure you're a lot more comfortable and safe.  Hats will also save your neck from sunburn.  Layers are generally recommended as you may get hotter/colder during a hike.  Avoid cotton materials in favor of moisture-wicking or quick-dry materials whenever possible. 2) Water and food:  Typicall …
