What to expect at
Slow Girls Run Club DC
When and where do you meet?
Our weekly runs are every Wednesday starting at 6:30pm in Capitol Hill. We meet in front of the Balance Gym at 214 D Street SE, about a two block walk from the Capitol South metro stop.
We also meet monthly on the
last Saturday of the month for a longer run with varying routes.
How long are the runs?
Our weekly run is about 2.5 miles. Saturday runs vary, but usually are between 3.5-4.5 miles.
What pace do you run?
We have run leaders for the front, middle and back of the pack. Our front of the pack leaders start at 10:30- 11:00 min/mile and the back of the pack is between 14:00-15:00 min/mile—with a dedicated caboose to
ensure no one gets left behind.
I'm coming from work, is there anywhere for me to leave my bag?
You can leave your bag behind at Balance Gym during runs for a small fee via the Bounce App. SGRC DC is not associated with Bounce or responsible for any items left behind during runs or events.
Do I need to do anything before coming to my first run?
Before coming to your first run please review and sign our waiver.
Other than that, just show up!
Can guys come? Can I bring my male partner or friend?
Slow Girls is a state of mind. Our runs are for all women, nonbinary, and genderqueer runners who
identify with that. Non running events such as cheer stations and happy hours are open to anyone unless otherwise stated.
