Running in Basel

Hi, recently out from South Africa and looking to get together with some like-minded, English speaking runners / cyclists who are looking to train as well as have some fun.

Anyone interested in meeting up Wednesday or Friday mornings for a run (approx 10km) and Tuesday or Thursday evenings for a bike rides (40km on road)? Social/intermediate level.

Meeting point to be decided. Would be great to hear from you.

Re: Running in Basel

Great idea, team Just-in. Hash House Harriers sounds fun but not my scene. Your proposal sounds excellent. Keep us updated!

Re: Running in Basel

Hi,

I am moving to Basel in mid-July from Boston, USA. Don't know how long you are going to be there for? I am actually from Zim originally :-) I did a half marathon in Feb and have been pretty hopeless since, looking to get back into training and hopefully run a marathon towards the end of this year.

Re: Running in Basel

I just moved here (Basel) from NYC. I've done 1/2 marathons, metric centuries and the NYC Triathlon for the past two years. I'm looking for running and cycling buddies. Unless I'm training for something specific, I like to keep the pace around 1 hr per 10K or a little less. Biking—anything really I just miss being out there on my bike. Does anyone live in Basel and want to meet up? Perhaps head out for a snack or drink after?

Re: Running in Basel

Sounds good. Will definitely try to come out this week or next? Do we need to sign up for the club beforehand?

Also does anyone want to meet up for a bike ride? It seems like the only rides posted on this forum are for Zurich or mountain bikes. I have a road bike and would like to ride outside the city on some hills if possible.

Re: Running in Basel

I belong to the Mon/Thurs night Dragons Running Club too. VEry welcoming group of runners with runs for all levels of fitness. If you come to a run, look for me as I also cycle some evenings, and frequently do a longer ride on Saturday or Sundays ( anywhere between 40-100km, depending on the weather and my mood. :-), sometimes with a couple of friends.

Re: Running in Basel

I will come soon to join the Dragons, and I would also like to go explore Basel surroundings by bike. MY bike needs a fix, but I'll take care of it next week.
