/times/groups to choose from:
Mary's group - 3:30pm
Scott's group - 5:30pm
Main group - 6:00pm

Run Notes: It'll be dark by the end of the run. It's nearly a full
moon (Friday) and the skies should be clear, so the moonlight will
help guide the way. However, you might consider bringing a light.
Sunset 6:07pm
End Civil Twilight 6:35pm

If you want to mtn bike before the run, we'll start at 5pm. Please arrive a few
minutes before so that you are ready to ride at 5. We'll be able to get in a
45-50 minute ride, giving us enough time to change for the 6pm run.

Upcoming Thursday schedule (subject to change):
We'll continue to run on Thursdays through the winter. We're open to
suggestions for run locations each week.
