SATURDAY MORNING GROUP RUN

When: CRC’s Saturday morning group run starts at 8:00 a.m. (Updated March 2026)
Summer hours: We switch to a 7:30 a.m. start time to beat the heat.

Where: We meet in the parking lot on the north side of the One Mile Recreation Area at Bidwell Park in Chico.
(see map below/Google Maps) Routes and meeting points may change from time to time.

Who: Rain or shine, there’s almost always a group running. All ages and paces are welcome!
You don’t need to be a CRC member to join—our Saturday runs are open to everyone.

How Far: We usually split into groups based on pace and distance. Typical routes range from 3 to 8 miles, and we regularly mix things up to train for local races. (Example route available on Strava.)

Important Notes
Race days: If a major race is happening in the park on Saturday morning (such as the Bidwell Classic), the group run will be canceled. Many members will be racing, and we want to avoid interfering with the event.
Stay Connected: For the latest updates and announcements, check our Facebook page, Facebook group, and Strava Group for more information.
