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.

50 YEARS and 5000 MILES!!

Congrats to Laurie B. who hit 5000 gO! miles on her 50th birthday! She is the first gO! member to hit the milestone and we are VERY, VERY proud of her!!!. The amazing feat by the numbers.....
  • She has logged her gO! miles for 1195 days.
  • She averaged 4.2 miles/day for 3 years, 3 months and 7 days.
  • If she drove 60mph, it would take over 83 hours to drive the 5000 miles.
  • It's over 190 marathons.
  • Running non-stop at a 10 min./mile pace, it would still take 34 days, 17 hours to complete the 5,000 miles.
  • If she were to have replaced her shoes every 300-400 miles (as recommended), and pay an average of $100 per pair of shoes, she would have spent over $1400 is running shoes alone.
  • If she averaged two gO! runs per week for the 170 weeks, she would have listened to an estimated 57 hours of Josh talking before runs (based on an average 10 minute talk per run)!
  • In 5000 miles, she could have run to Pittsburgh and back!
CONGRATS LAURIE, YOU ROCK!!
