  • How do I become a general member?

    Just fill out our membership form and waiver on the "Join Us" page, and show up to a run! Membership is $5 for McGillians and $10 otherwise.

  • Are beginners welcome? What if I've never run before?

    Anyone is welcome to join! We have different levels, including self-paced for beginners, and will do our best to accommodate your needs!

  • What is the pace like for each level?

    Here is a rough guide; paces and distances may be modified depending on the group's preferences.

    Beginner: 1.5-3 km (1-2 miles) @ your own pace

    Easy: 4-6 km @ 5:50-6:30 min/km (2.5-3.75 miles @ 9:30-10:30 min/mi)

  • Where do I go for the head runs?

    All head runs will meet outside the McGill Athletic Complex at 475 Pine Ave W (475 Ave des Pins O).

  • How are points calculated?

    We have a leaderboard where you can earn points for attending runs and events. You get 50 points per head run, and extra for things like referring a friend, keeping a streak, and so on!

  • What is the QR code for?

    It allows our head runners to take attendance more smoothly. Please bring it with you to head runs if possible!
