This is the the running club's first such event.

The group's organizer will have name tags for everyone to write down how they like to run and walk, including such factors as distance, location, pace, time of day. Then participants will mingle and hopefully meet other people that have similar running and walking goals and habits.

Organizers hope everyone will find at least one other person in the group that suits their exercise style and the entire group will go out for a run or walk. Organizers say they hope this event will help start to build community within the membership so people can more easily find friends to run and walk with.

Guests are welcome to attend. The club hopes to host at least one of these meet/greet events each month.

The meet-up group currently has 59 members. It is organized by David C. Lee and was formed in September 2011.
