Whether you’re preparing for your first marathon, training for local road races, or simply getting in better shape, WOG features two weekly workouts open to all ages and abilities, as well as weekend social runs. Of course, there’s a long tradition of WOG social nights, and all are invited to adjourn for root beer and cookies at local eateries... Founded by Randy Accetta and Greg Wenneborg, the Workout Group has been providing great running workouts since 1997.

Training Groups

On Tuesday and Thursday nights, runners generally self-select into one of three different training groups:

1) Those training for longer races like marathons, half-marathons, or ultra-marathons
2) Those training for local road races
3) Novices to the sport who are learning to jog, training for their first road race, or just having fun
