The Alpine Runners is one of the largest running clubs in the Chicagoland area, with nearly 500 members. Pace groups start from 7:30 minutes per mile and increase in 30-second increments to 12:00 minutes plus per mile. During "marathon season" upwards of 200 people show up on a Saturday morning. Training programs are included in our membership. The club has put on the Alpine Races for the past 40 years with distances varying from 5k to a half-marathon, youth mile, and "kiddie races." Check out our website for details on Group Runs all week long.
