Friday Night Vert – Week 1 Recap: The Season Kicks Off Strong!
May 31, 2025
What a night! Our Friday Night Vert series launched its 10-week journey with a huge turnout and perfect conditions for Season 8. Over 60 runners showed up to take on the vertical challenge, bringing all the energy and community vibes we could’ve hoped for.
The weather? Absolutely dialed. Clear skies, cool temps, and just enough wind to keep the sweat in check—about as good as we're going to get as summer is notoriously hot and humid..
New for Next Week: “Party Pace” Group Start
Starting Week 2 (June 6), we’re introducing a 6:30pm Party Pace Group Start. This will be a more social option for anyone looking to hike, jog, or just take it easy with friends. We’ll still have our 7:00pm group start for those chasing PRs or looking to race the clock.
For the Data Nerds
If you’re curious about your time or want to see how your effort stacks up, make sure to log your run on Strava. We’ve got a segment set up so you can track your progress week to week.
