Rendezvous Running Group

For our running and walking friends visiting Madison, we've partnered with Movin' Shoes (528 South Park St.), a local running store, to provide fun and safe routes for anyone looking to get out and see the city on foot. Staff from Movin' Shoes have put together several route maps that will be available upon request. We will also use those routes for informal group runs each morning and evening, as interest dictates. Routes will range in distance and provide different segments of the city including campus, the capital area, and surrounding neighborhoods. If you are interested in getting access to the maps or joining (or leading) group runs, please contact Kyle Fredrick (fredrick@calu.edu). All paces and experience levels are welcome!
