May CV Results

Hey team - Happy Memorial Day and Endorphins Monday! Thank you to all of our members who participated in the May Community Vote🫶 We do community votes to make sure decisions are made with community input - as we’re building out this community in Dallas, we will have these monthly until we find the groove that works best for us! With that being said… we heard you and are going to implement some changes🫡

TLDR - Social & Saturday Runs will keep happening just different time and place!! Saturday runs are going to (attempt) to beat the heat!! Oh, and vibes are, of course, VIBIEST.

Happy Hour SOCIAL Runs - For starters, changing the name to be more consistent for future runs (ex: Ice Cream, Baseball Game👀, Olympics Watching Party, Etc)!!! Most of you (48%) haven’t made it out to a social run, but want to and those of you who have made it out (36%) want to keep doing them BUTTTTT want some ✨variety✨ . An overwhelming majority (80%) wants to switch up our locations while the rest of you (20%) don’t care where we have it - you just want it to happen! Most of you (82%) confirmed Wednesday is the best night for your schedule, but timing had the biggest divide (see below). We will bump our runs back to 7:00PM starting on June 12th to hopefully include 26% more of you😉. We’re excited to cook up some fun evening social runs this summer - keep an eye out on Circle for the locations!

Saturday TIME - 61% of you have been outside lately and noticed that it’s TOASTY by 7:30am. So, in an attempt to #BeatTheHeat🥵, on June 8th, we will be starting our long runs an hour earlier at 6:30am. We can revisit this question in a CV later this fall!

Saturday MILEAGE - A huge goal of ours is to get as many people excited about running with others as possible. One way we can contribute to this is by offering more approachable distances this summer as we’re building towards the fall training. With that, we are going to start offering TWO mileage options each week leading up to the Dallas half/full build. This will continue through the fall as the half/full training plan will differ Saturdays. With this in mind - BRING YOUR FRIENDS on Saturdays! We will have a place for everyone🤩 We are in the process of building our pace groups and will have leaders for 8-8:30, 9-9:30, 10-10:30, and 11-11:30 on Saturdays.

Saturday LOCATION - Similar to Wednesday nights, we’re (58%) wanting a little variety on Saturdays! We know Dallas covers quite a bit of area and has more running trails to offer than just Katy and WRL. We do want to build some semblance of consistency, so we’re planning out a schedule to pilot this summer (Ex: Week 1 & 2 @ WRL, Week 3 @ Fort Worth, Week 4 @ North Dallas). We’re excited to cover some miles all over DFW this summer and continue building this family of ours - keep an eye out on Circle for the locations!

Vibesssss - VIBIEST of VIBES. Let’s keep those vibes 📈📈📈📈📈 this week!! Also, a huge ✨THANK YOU✨ to everyone who provided comments and feedback - we hear you and will definitely be taking these into consideration as we continue building runs. We’ve got some funnnnnn things coming.

All the best,

Your Dallas City Leads ⚡️💙
