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.

gO! Long & gO! Dirty


You may have heard, but some members of the gO! Group have caught the Ultra Bug! We have 10ish entered into the Way Too Cool 50K lottery (lottery is this Wednesday and the race is March 10) and 15ish members participating in the American River 50 miler on April 7! As a result of this phenominom, we have instituted a weekly gO! Saturday morning "Ultra" trail run. These runs will be designed for and in line with the AR 50 training plan (which can be found to the right). However, anyone that can handle the mileage is welcome. We will also carpool to many of them and carpool info is listed on the calendar in the "location" section for each run. We start THIS SATURDAY!




Also, we have planned an AR50 training camp in Big Sur over the weekend of Feb. 10-12. We will be staying at the Ferwood Resort (http://www.fernwoodbigsur.com/) on Friday and Saturday nights. We are planning 4 runs: Friday night (4-5 miles for those who get down there in time), Saturday morning (22 miles), Saturday afternoon (4-5 miles), and Sunday morning (10 miles). All runs will be on the various trails of the Big Sur area through the Giant Redwoods. EVERYONE is welcome (even if not running all that much). The resort has a motel, cabins, tent cabins, RV campsites, and regular campsites. Most importantly, they have a restaurant and tavern for some great gO! "socializing." Make reservations in groups or on your own ASAP!


Join us to gO! Long and gO! Dirty over the next few months!
