Schedule
Our weekly schedule can be seen below. At most runs we split into short and long groups. Shorter runs are usually 1 - 4 miles and long runs are 4 - 6+ miles. Everyone is welcome regardless of ability!
This Week
Week of September 28
Meet at the Gompei statue on the quad for outdoor runs. Please bring your WPI ID for attendance if you are registered for gym credit. Outdoor runs are subject to change due to weather, in which case we will let you know on Slack day-of.
For Fun Friday, we'll meet at Gompei on the quad and walk over to the Institute Park stage together, or meet us there. There is no Saturday long run this week because of the UConn Invitational.

- Fun Fridays are lots of fun activities like team dinners, yoga, lawn games, ice cream runs, movie nights, relays, game nights, and more!
- It's not uncommon for a group of runners to add extra mileage after the scheduled run, completely optional of course!
Winter Schedule
During the winter months we hold outdoor runs at 4PM due to daylight savings. Indoor runs are also held at 5PM in the rec center, which are generally speed focused due to limited space.
Gym Credit
All WPI students are required to obtain gym credit in order to graduate. Through club sports we are able to offer gym credit to individuals who are registered for WPE 1221 on Workday! At least 21 runs / events must be attended throughout the semester in order to get credit for the class.
