<p>I'm hoping to run a 4:40 mile by the end of this year (aka nowhere even close for varsity running), so I was just curious of the other running opportunities available. I know running clubs tend to run farther distances, like 10K or 10 mile races, but any information would be great. I ran a 18:30 5K in October, but my PR for the mile then was about 5:00 so I hoped it would be a bit better now. Am I too slow? Just right?</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>I don’t know much specifically about running clubs, but you can find a comprehensive list of student organizations here: [stars.umd.edu[/url</a>] </p>
<p>A quick search came up with “Terp Runners” as a running club here. You can check out their website: [url=<a href=“terprunners.com - This website is for sale! - terprunners Resources and Information.”>http://www.terprunners.com/]Terp</a> Runners Home Page](<a href=“http://stars.umd.edu/]stars.umd.edu[/url”>http://stars.umd.edu/)</p>
<p>You run a 4:40 mile and are not even close to making varsity? That’s an extremely competitive high school track team…</p>

<p>Thanks for the compliment, but I meant a varsity team in college.</p>
<p>Most clubs at MD cater to all experience levels, from beginners up. </p>
<p>I don’t know about the running club specifically, but Terp Runners is the one I’ve heard of…</p>
<p>There are also actually running CLASSES which would be a great easy A haha. They have beginner, intermediate, and advanced ones in fact. You might be a bit too awesome for those though :).</p>
<p>Im in terp runners, its a pretty good group with some really fast members and some slow ones like me. We do a few races and you get a nice subsidized price :)</p>
