Runs are better with a buddy! Join the LRC on Tuesday evenings for a community run starting at Swan Brewing (Lake Wire) location. The group run will start at 5:45 PM with check in starting 15 minutes before. Check out our recommended route maps below. This run is for all experience levels. We will circle up for announcements and take a group photo, then start together. The run coordinator will help match up runners based on pace, but there are no official pace leaders, and the group will naturally spread out. There are water fountains on the 5k and 5 mile route, you'll need to carry water if you need it for the 3.5 mile route. There will always be people doing shorter runs, some will continue on for more miles, and others will make up their own routes. It’s all good, we're glad to have you, and hope you'll join us under the tent for fellowship after your run. Runners who sign up and check-in will receive a free tee after completing 10 runs. Check-in at each run online. There will be a
