Need a place to run? Want to explore more of San Antonio? Join us for this social run series where we visit San Antonio’s historic neighborhoods. Come to hear about the history of these areas, stay for the socializing and drink specials, and leave with a great workout! We partner with Fleet Feet, a local running shoe store, who help us make sure you are running comfortably. Runs are typically on the last Thursday of the month at 6 PM (or 7 PM in the summers!). Suggested routes offered are 2-3 miles and 5 miles.
No cost and no need to register (exceptions for our special holiday editions).
Check Facebook for the locations of remaining series events, or sign up for the OHP email list to learn about details as they are confirmed!
