Free Social Runs

Yes, and this is the question we hear most. Runners, joggers, and walkers are all part of the group, and the walkers are not an afterthought — they are a real contingent every week. Nobody is left behind and nobody is timed.

The group naturally spreads into a few clusters within the first half mile, so you end up alongside people moving at your speed whether that is an eight-minute mile or a conversational walk. If you are coming back from an injury or brand new to running, this is a gentler place to start than a race or a track workout.

Tuesdays we gather at The View @ Clermont National and set off at 6:45 PM. Wednesdays we start from the store at 741 West Montrose Street in downtown Clermont at 6:30 PM, cover three to five miles through town, and finish at Sud's Saloon for a drink with whoever wants one.

Bring water, and shoes you can actually cover a few miles in. Central Florida evenings stay warm long after sunset, so plan for heat even in the winter months, and if you are unsure your shoes are up to the mileage, stop in beforehand for a complimentary fitting.

You log the miles you cover with us and we track the total across the year. Rewards come at 50, 100, and 200 miles, and miles logged at either store count toward the same tally, so splitting your weeks between Clermont and Winter Garden costs you nothing.

Walking miles count exactly the same as running miles. Ask any staff member to get you started on your first night, or email 741DashSports@gmail.com if you would like the details in advance. Most people are surprised how quickly a weekly three-mile habit adds up.
