🎨 Looking for some cardio and creativity? Join us for an urban artistic adventure run!

🧭 We’ll depart from the MIT student center at 6:15 pm on a 3.75 mi route through Cambridgeport to make some Strava art by spelling out MITOC.

☕ We’ll stick around post-run to hang out with pizza, hot chocolate, and seasonal treats (paid for by MITOC).

Pace and prereqs: This will be a no drop run (we’ll run at a pace that’s comfortable for everyone), and we'll split into a couple of groups with different paces: likely ~8-8:30, ~9:30, ~10:30, and 12 min/mi. As a rough guideline, you should currently be comfortable running 3-4 mi (flat road) at ~10 min/mi or faster.

Note: this trip was rescheduled from Wednesday, Dec 11 to Friday, Dec 13 due to rain.

Weather: We’re a bit far out for a super accurate forecast, but it’s looking chilly (~30 ºF).

What to wear/bring:

• Come dressed to run! It will probably make sense to start off a bit cold. You can leave extra warm/dry layers in the MITOC office before the run!
• Headlamp and/or reflective vest (strongly encouraged). Running with a headlamp is a great way to practice trail running in the dark… on roads!
• Festive socks and attire (strongly encouraged)

Other notes:

• If the trip shows as full, please add yourself to the waitlist, as we may be able to adjust the trip size
• If you're a leader and interested in joining as a leader, please sign up as a participant but email/Slack us!
