Kung Fu Running Club

Ever since I moved away BON Running club is just a bit far away, so I looked for a closer FFP running club and I think I have found my new home at Kung Fu Running club. Same concept, social 5K, drinks and food and mingling afterwards.
The path is along washington into the neighborhood, along memorial park, back through the neighborhood and along washington again. It’s pretty smooth and not too many cars. The people who organize this club are just as cool at the BON bunch.

This review needed an update (badly) since the route has changed and I’ve been running with this group since it started.
About the route: it’s actually pretty scenic since you run through some neighborhoods with very pretty houses, part of memorial trail, and end up on Washington street. The entire route is almost 3 miles. What’s great about this run is how you could change up the route and run as many (or little) miles as you like. For example, you could take off and circle the entire Memorial trail and extend your run or you could shorten it to 2 miles by running through Astora street (I think it’s Astroa… I might be wrong).
Another great thing about this run club is how small it is. Well, it’s grown since I’ve first started running with them, but it’s not huge like BON and you can still mingle and get to know people in a small setting.
My favorite part of this run club is the FOOD! haha… After the run, Kung Fu serves up some tasty sandwiches (oh, and there’s also rabbit food with a delicious sesame dressing). There have been 3 different sandwiches (on different nights) that they’ve rotated: tuna sandwich, grilled chicken & ham sandwich, and grilled cheese sandwich. I’m not a big fan of their tuna sandwich, but let me tell you about their grilled cheese!!! It’s my absolute favorite sandwich there and I wish I could get a bowl of tomato soup to go with it! Not going to lie, that sandwich is pretty buttery, but my taste buds thank me for picking up a few (yes, a few) of them babies and savoring them (okay fine… shoving).
The chicken and ham sandwich isn’t bad… the meat tends to be a bit dry, but honestly I cannot complain since they’re all free (including the beer if you finish your run fast enough).
Again, the group run starts at 630PM (and they’re pretty punctual) and parking is free on the streets after 6PM (be sure to check the signs!). Also, the runners in this group are super friendly so do come out and join us :)
