TRAINING - Where do we run?
Our group runs are fun, sometimes intense, and always full of camaraderie. All events below can also be found on our Group Runs page. 
Tuesday Nights (until the end of May)
Until the end of May we are meeting at the Summit County Hike and Bike parking lot on 303 (just west of Rt. 8) 6:15 warm-up, workout begins @ 6:30.  Look for this guy (Paul Romanic) and if you don't know him -- introduce yourself!

Sunday Mornings - The Basics
  • This run, which has been a SERC tradition since our founding, is entirely on the roads and streets in Solon and joins runners with a wide range of abilities.
  • We meet at 8:00 a.m. in the parking lot of Solon Square Shopping Center (near the Chipotle) on the Northwest corner of Route 91 (SOM Center Road) and Aurora Road.
  • The running pace is typically between 6:30-9:00-minute miles, however we do encourage ALL speeds
  • We leave at 8:00 a.m. sharp.
  • If you're new, get there early and introduce yourself.
  • Breakfast at D&R Bagels follows.
We follow a 12-mile loop around Solon, with plenty of options for shorter and longer distances. Most club members run the full 12 miles and a few go 15-20+ miles. At about the 6-mile mark, the course passes the Valley Forge Drive house of one of our club members, Dick Cyr, who leaves water for us on his back porch. It is also possible to create a 5-mile course by returning home on SOM Center Road heading north off Pettibone. Maps of all loops are shown here.


Thanks for reading! See you on the roads and trails soon!
