The Alpine Runners 
One of the largest and best organized

running clubs in Chicagoland!  

We meet every Saturday morning at the Lake Zurich High School parking lot, 300 Church St. at 7:00 am for training/fun runs! Rt. 22 and Midlothian Rd. We have established courses from 4 to 22 miles, with mile markers from 1 to 20 miles. Water and Gatorade every 2 to 3 miles provided by Illinois Runs Training Programs and distributed by club volunteers. Every Saturday morning at 7:00 am we start running in groups, grouped by running pace, 7:30 minute milers to 12:00 minute milers. The groups start off a few minutes apart to avoid large crowds on the streets. If you run a 12 minute mile pace or a 7:30 minute mile pace, we have a group for you. Many of the Alpine Runners have Marathon and Ultramarathon experience so if you are looking for training advice, you'll find it here! In the summer months there will be pace group leaders for those training for the Chicago or other Fall Marathons. We welcome all levels of runners.  We also have several walkers out there on Saturdays.  Come for the training and the Gatorade, and you'll stay for the camaraderie!
