The gO! Running Group is a Roseville based recreational running group that aims to provide group running opportunities for runners of all abilities. Although our focus is primarily on 5K to marathons, we have members who have completed triathlons (including Ironman events) and ultras. We train on both roads and trails. We currently meet three times per week - Sunday mornings and Tuesday/Thursday evenings.

The 20 Mile Run

Welcome to the Club!
Congratulations to the many gO! runners who joined the mythical fraternity of runners whom have completed the always painful, yet satisfying, 20 mile training run/race! They do not label the 20 mile marker at marathons as "The Wall" for no reason! Some folks finished their longest run to date down at the Clarksburg county run, while several others completed it at the group run yesterday morning. In my personal opinion, the 20 mile training run can often be a much larger mental challenge than the actual completion of a full marathon! Take away the crowds, the medals, the hype, the respect a marathon brings, and the thousands of other runners in a marathon and you are left with only your thoughts and a whole lot of road while covering the 20 miles in training. GREAT JOB gO! Runners!
