FAQs
Will I be able to keep up?
Runners are asked to sign up to the group that they are most comfortable with, so you should be grouped with runners of a similar pace. See Course Details above for information on speeds. If you aren't sure which pace you should choose it is advised that you air on the side of caution and choose the slower pace. This allows a more enjoyable run and gives you more time to see the sights.
What if I can't make this date but I want to participate?
Please note that the above groups are available on several different dates throughout December, so if you can't make one, check out the other dates on Let's Do This.
How large are the groups for each pace?
Group sizes are kept at no more than 10 runners to ensure a safe run for all.
What if I can't run a 10k?
There are some 5k dates available on Let's Do This also for runners who want a shorter distance.
