Time Trial
What is the Time Trial?
Every 3 months, Social Run Club hosts a 5K & 10K Time Trial. We have a set course that we run and you get to see where you're at. Whether this is your first time or you're trying to beat your last time, it's a good opportunity to get out and be active. Plus it's something to motivate you and train for.
Time Trial vs Race
So whats the difference between a Time Trial and a Race?
Race
-
An official course, that is has been measured. There are bibs and timing chips. It's legit.
Social Run Club Time Trial
-
It's a bunch of people getting together to push our limits. It is organized to be the minimal amount of planning effort.
-
No chips, no KM markings, no water stations or ribbons/prizes.
-
We do our timing the old fashion way: with a stop watch.
-
Just come out and jog, run or race the course you want to.
-
We'll got go brunch after!
Course
We start at David Lam Park, then head along the sea wall to and around Science World, then back the way we came. We also have a quick course run through video on Youtube:
