I did it again! The Morning Jo's RUN Club. 6 am Tuesdays @ Jo's Coffee South Congress Avenue ATX

 I did it again! The Morning Jo's RUN Club. 6 am Tuesdays @ Jo's Coffee South Congress Avenue ATX. Today's run was 4 miles in length.

This is perhaps the largest, most fun and varied pace social run club in all of Austin, Texas! It has been in existence for 7-8+ years. Currently in the year of 2025, they average around 200, yes 200 morning runners each Tuesday, start time 6 pm.  The organizer said the max they've ever had was 350 people. The run route for this well- populated urban group starts on South Congress Ave and heads directly north to the Texas Capitol Gov't building. It's a straight shot down SoCo. Then the route wraps around the rear of the Texas State Capitol granite building and returns back due south on SoCo, until the happy ending post hill climb at Jo's Coffee SoCo. 

The unique positives of the Morning Jo's Run Club are:

• There are human volunteer PACERS for joggers in the 7,8,9,10,11 and 12 minute mile categories. There is even a walk only pacer category. The Pacers wear bright colored vests or shirts which are easy to see and follow.
• The group has a solid at least 50/50 female to male ratio of participants. Today I'd guess it was 6 or 7 females to 3 males? 
• The group is very welcoming, diverse and is an easier jog, with some helpful city stop-light mini breaks. 
• It is described as being the most SOCIAL Run Group of them all in Austin, Texas.
• it is 100 percent FREE to join and attend.

Did I enjoy it, yes! Will I attend again, Yes.
