People to run with

The groups listed here are open to all interested runners, with no dues, fees or club affiliation required. (The Hash House Harriers let you do your first run free, anyway; regular hashers chip in three dollars for beer, etc.)
If your group has a weekly run and you'd like to invite others to join you, email us and we'll put you on this list.

Meet in the north east corner of S LOT. Take Jefferson Road to RIT. Turn onto the campus, drive to the first intersection, and turn right (west). This is Andrews Drive. Follow Andrews Drive up and over a hill that circles back around the campus. Reach a stop sign intersection and look for the large brown signs that identify campus buildings and parking lots. The sign for S LOT will be on your left just past the stop intersection. (P.S. During summer 2001 there is road construction on campus so drive slowly.) For more info, email Peter Haggerty.
