ICYMI: Lansdale Area Running Club Getting Off The Ground

The very recently formed Lansdale Area Running Club is getting off the ground.

Within 48 hours, founder Frank Gilroy drummed up 25 Facebook likes for his idea, andcreated a website for the new club.

Their first group run will be held this Saturday, June 27. A course map has been posted online.

Per their website:

This club was established in 2015 to promote good health and the enduring pursuit of the elusive runner’s high for people in and around the Lansdale area who are looking for local routes and kindred spirits. Our first run will take place on Saturday June 27th at 7:30 AM. We’ll meet at Starbucks on Main Street in Lansdale.

Many interested parties, describing themselves as “beginner runners,” expressed immediate interest in the group, and Gilroy reassured runners that the club would cater to all levels of runners.

The North Wales Running Company operates group runs twice a week from their N. Main Street Store, but there is no strictly Lansdale-based group.

Nicknamed the ”LARCs,” the club already has 52 Facebook followers.
