Every MERC session is structured, accessible, and captain-led. Find your session, show up, and run at a pace that works for you. No experience required — just the willingness to get out and move.
All MERC sessions are capped at 45 minutes with structured rest breaks included. Designed for all fitness levels — you go at your own pace.
Every run is led by your local MERC captain who sets a steady, consistent pace ensuring the whole group runs together and no one is left behind.
Sessions are social events as much as training runs. Captains foster a welcoming, inclusive environment built on mutual encouragement.
Members: Full run listings, live schedule changes, and captain-specific city sessions are managed in the MERC app. The timetable below shows the core public schedule. City-specific sessions and live updates are available to registered members.
