      Other Need to Know Information:
      NEW this Season 5K &10K Program: We are offering for the first-time ever a new program to help people get ready for their first 5K or 10K. We believe running should be accessible to anyone that wants to put in the work and we understand a half marathon might be a lot for someone new to commit to. This new program will now offer a point of entry for anyone that’s wants to give it a shot. 
      Happy Hours: We will be coordinating weekly happy hours every Tuesday as part of the regular season-based restaurants and bars being able to host outside seating. We do ask that you follow all CDC guidelines when participating.
      Social Events: We will be continuing to host monthly social events throughout the season based on venue availability and offering of an outside option. We do ask that you follow all CDC guidelines when participating.
      Aid Stations: We will be offering aid stations once our Saturday runs get a little longer. The aid stations will be supplied with sanitizer. Cups will also be provided at the aid station however it’s recommended you carry your own hydration bottle on your runs especially as summer temperatures set in.
      Keys and Jackets: At the start of the season, we will not be offering bins to hold your keys and jackets on our runs. As the season progresses, we might reintroduce this service but no times lines have been set.
      Discounts: As always if you shop at Road Runner Sports, they will continue to offer discounts on your purchases if you tell them, you are part of Black Flag Running Club. We will also be coordinating with San Diego’s Race Directors throughout the season and pass on all discount codes we are able to obtain.

      We ask that if you do come out for one of our runs that you follow the Community Guidelines. 

       

      One of the keys to our club's success has been our ability to create a sense of community with our runners.

      Training for races can be hard work. But surrounding yourself with a community of people who are invested in your success will help you through those long miles and hold you accountable for your training. It's also more fun!

      In an effort to foster this sense of community, we get social.

      Happy Hours

      After most Tuesday runs we coordinate a place to meet for happy hour. This is a great way to meet new people, talk about your next big race and make sure your running buddy is going to be there on Saturday. Each person is responsible for the cost of their own food and drink. 

      Social Events

      Once a month we coordinate a social event that often, but not always, takes place on a Saturday evening. These social events can be anything from karaoke night, movies in the park or a dance party, but it's always a good time.

      Pasta Dinners

      Before most of the big races in San Diego, we will coordinate a pasta dinner someplace near the packet pickup location. This has become a standing tradition for the team and is open to friends and family.

      Community Service

      We recognize that building a sense of community expands beyond just our group of runners. A few times a year we will have opportunities for our runners to give back through different organized volunteer activities.
