About the group run: Our running group is informal and open to anyone who wants to run with us. Even though some of the runners include professors, grad students, and under grad students, we are not associated/sanctioned by UCSD.

Our workouts include a combination of speed, power & endurance and long runs. These workouts have made us faster and run longer at a steady pace.

Runners include founding SURF members and current SURFers. All are welcome!
