Mob Runs

Mob Runs: Building Community, Mile by Mile

Mob Runs are the heart of the Metro Mile Mafia's weekly schedule, designed to bring members together for camaraderie, encouragement, and collective growth. These group runs are open to runners of all levels and tailored to accommodate various paces and distances, ensuring everyone feels welcome and supported.  

How They Work

- Frequency: Mob Runs occur 1–2 days a week, with schedules communicated via group announcements or newsletters.  

- Distances: Options typically range from short runs (up to 5 miles) to medium distances (6–10 miles), ensuring something for everyone.  

- Locations: The routes may vary, offering scenic paths, trails, or road routes that showcase the best running spots in the area.  

- Inclusivity: We emphasize "no runner left behind." Pacers and leaders will ensure that all participants, whether experienced marathoners or new to running, feel included.  

Points and Rewards

Participants earn points for every Mob Run they complete:  

- Short runs (up to 5 miles):  5 points  

- Medium runs (6–10 miles): 8 points  

- Long runs (11+ miles): 12 points  

Mob Runs are an excellent way to accumulate points toward earning your Mafia Letter or Letterman’s Jacket while fostering friendships and shared motivation.
