SRR Weekend Long Runs
Multiple SRR long run pace groups often meet up in Kenney Park in Davis Square… like at this long run in November 2025
Long runs are awesome and are even better in good company. The SRR Calendar offers a birds-eye view of upcoming long runs, races, and other events that you can expect to be well attended by club members. Long run details are shared every Friday via email (join the email list here) and on the SRR Facebook group.
Additionally, we want to help you figure out where to run! To help with that, we’ve started a “Long Run Library” of some reliable favorite routes to choose from.
Club-organized run groups
We summarize what all of the Long Run Groups have planned in an email that goes out on Fridays to the Somerville Road Runners email list, but it’s also helpful and fun to join the email lists of the pace groups you run with most frequently to stay on top of what’s happening every week. Contact any of our pace group leaders for more info!
No Expectations Run
The No Expectations Run is a weekly run open to all with absolutely no expectation on pace or distance. Runners and walkers are welcome! Meetup locations alternate between the Ranger Station at Fresh Pond in Cambridge, and the Lowell Street Bluebikes station on the Somerville Community Path. This group meets on Sunday mornings at 9am, and often regroups for post-run coffee and pastries.

11 minute group (~11 minute/mile pace)
Weekend long runs at a roughly 11 minute/mile pace. This group typically runs a 5.5 mile loop, with some runners opting to add on additional miles.
Contact run leads Christina Cabana-Johnson and Scott Brook for more information!
10 minute group (~10 minute/mile pace)
Weekend long runs typically leaving out of Somerville at approximately 10 minutes per mile with multiple distance options.
Contact run leads Jose Ramirez and Andrew van Horn for more information!
9 minute group (~9 minute/mile pace)
Our 9-minute long run group typically meets up on Saturday mornings in Somerville to run anywhere from 8-22 miles depending on where members are in their training cycles. Group paces range from 8:30-9:15 with members aiming to run around a 3:30-4:00 hour Marathon, 1:40-2:00 hour Half Marathon, or just get out there and run with a group. Planning emails typically go out on Wednesdays. Come join us!

Goldilocks Long Run Group (~8:00 to ~8:30 minute/mile pace)
If the 9-minute pace group is a little bit too relaxed for you and the 3-hour marathon group is running a tad faster than you’d like, the Goldilocks group will be just right. This group typically runs between 8:00-8:30 per mile, occasionally incorporating some faster miles.
Contact run leads Julia McClellan, Bean Leonard and Ross Daly for more information!
3 hour marathon group (~7-8 min/mile pace)
A group of 3 hour marathoners (or 3:15, or 3:20) who typically do Saturday long runs at 7:45 to 8 min/mile leaving from Kenney Park in Davis Square. Runs generally start out at around 8 minute pace and sometimes speed up a little as people warm up. The group generally waits at turns or major intersections to regroup. Some runners may incorporate faster miles, but there’s almost always a group just out for steady miles. Planning emails usually go out on Thursdays.
Contact run leads Ben Spaulding, Jess Petersen and John Johnson for more information!
Sub-7 group (7 minute/mile pace or faster)
Long runs typically start out around 7 min/mile and get faster from there. The runs aren’t necessarily competitive, but this is generally a “keep up or get dropped” group. In fact, most of the group probably has been dropped at some point, and there’s no shame in that. Some runners will incorporate marathon or tempo pace efforts in some runs. Weekend runs are typically organized by email on Wednesday or Thursday.
Contact run leads Kieran Condon and Chris Klucznik for more information!
