847 Run Club

Welcome to the 847 Run Club!

Join us for a weekly run through the scenic streets and trails of Libertyville, IL! Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, the 847 Running Company invites you to be part of our vibrant, inclusive community. Our 847 Run Club is open to everyone – no matter your pace, experience, or background.

What to Expect

Distance: Runs range from 3-5 miles, depending on the season and route. We’ll keep you updated on the weekly distances! Often the route can be treated as an out-and-back so that you can shorten the run to meet your needs.

Routes: Explore the beautiful paths of Libertyville, including neighborhood streets, the Des Plaines River Trail (DPRT), Northshore Bike Path, Casey Road Trail, and more.

No-Drop Policy: We are a no-drop club, meaning no one gets left behind. Whether you run fast or slow, we stick together.

Pace: All paces are welcome! Never run with a club and need a little more info?  The range of pace is quite large with some folks comfortable around 8 minutes per mile, to our most popular group running between 9-10:30 minutes per mile and even some run-walk to a tune of 14 minutes+. Whether you’re looking to challenge yourself or enjoy a more relaxed pace, there's a spot for you!

 

Weekly Runs

We meet every Tuesday inside 847 Running Company at 6:15pm to kick off our weekly run. Each week, we’ll post our routes on our social media stories, so you can plan ahead. Our routes are designed to showcase the beauty of Libertyville and provide a variety of terrains, from the peaceful Des Plaines River Trail to the quiet streets of our town.

Safety First!

  • Dress for the Weather: Be sure to dress appropriately for the conditions, whether it's a hot summer evening or a chilly winter night. 
  • See and Be Seen: As the seasons change, and especially if it's getting dark, reflective clothing is a must.
  • Light source is highly recommended for your safety. Our rule of thumb: See and Be Seen.
