Come Run With Us!

Wednesday Night
Jeffries Trail, Irvine

Join us every Wednesday at 6:00 PM for our flagship social run along the Jeffrey Open Space Trail in Irvine. Starting from Cypress Village Shopping Center, participants can choose distances between 2 to 4 miles at their own pace. After the run, we gather for food and camaraderie, making it a perfect midweek break.

Monday Night
PETER’S CANYON TRAIL, Tustin

Group of people in athletic clothing standing around a tall male statue of a muscular man with his hand shielding his eyes, in an outdoor setting with palm trees and white tents.

Kick off your week with a scenic trail run through Peters Canyon Regional Park. Meeting at Citrus Ranch Park in Tustin at 6:15 PM, this run offers varied terrain and distances to suit all levels. It's a great opportunity to build endurance and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

SUNDAY MORNING
NEWPORT BEACH Path

Start your Sunday with a breezy out-and-back run along the paved Newport Balboa Bike Trail, open to all paces from walkers to long runners. We meet near the Newport Pier at 7:45 AM, and after the run, we head to Baja Sharkeez for breakfast and mimosas.
