About the Alpine Runners

About the Club

The Alpine Runners is the largest running club in the Chicagoland area, with nearly 500 members.  The "Saturday Morning" training run is the most popular year-round.  Mileage varies from 4 miles to 22 miles, depending on the individual, season, and weather.  All routes are complete with "water stops" that have Gatorade and water. 

Pace groups start from 7:30 minutes per mile and increase in 30-second increments to 12:00 minutes per mile.  During "marathon season" upwards of 200 people can show up on a Saturday morning.

The club has put on an annual race for the past 31 years with distances varying from 5k to a half-marathon and "kiddie races."  This year the Alpine Races are on September 26, 2010.
