Miles are better together.

Meet local runners, stay motivated, and find a welcoming group for nearly any pace or distance.

NERC group runs are a great way to meet new runners, learn from one another, and stay motivated throughout the year.

Some runners start early for extra miles and return to the meeting point for the regular start. Visit the NERC Facebook events page to coordinate early starts and check for updates.

Year-round community run

Monday Night Group Run

Start time 6:00 PM sharp, year-round
Meeting location Chagrin River Park, Reeves Road entrance
Paces and distances Walkers welcome; most runners complete 3–5 miles

Paved and crushed-limestone loops make it easy to build a route of roughly 1, 3, or 5 miles. A 10–12 minute-per-mile group is commonly available, but participants may choose any comfortable distance or pace.

Winter attendance may be lighter. Bring a flashlight or headlamp when conditions are dark.
