The River City UMC Run Club will meet for their weekly group run at St. Matthews UMC (319 Browns Lane) on Sundays at 4:30 p.m. We will begin our time together with a short devotion and prayer, followed by the group run.

Our running/walking program is targeted to athletes of all levels – absolutely no experience is required! A training schedule is provided to all participants and this season will use the Louisville Triple Crown of Running races as conditioning for the Kentucky Derby Festival miniMarathon. Plan to run or walk all the race events with us or pick and choose the ones that best fit your schedule – no race or weekly group run attendance is mandatory. Additional group training opportunities will be announced as they become available throughout the season.

The race schedule and registration information is below. Also included next to each race is the minimum pace (minutes per mile) that must be maintained to complete the race.
 
The training schedule the Run Club will be using can be downloaded here.
