Saturday running
Basel Dragons now organise regular Saturday morning runs for Basel Dragons members + guests can join on a trial basis.
There are a number of aims of these runs.
- Firstly it will give us time to run a third run per week as a group,
- Secondly it will give us more time for longer and new routes from the weekday runs, including some hills and trails.
- Also it will allow people to still do their shopping in the afternoon and leaving them a Sunday free rest day before the Monday normal sessions.
The meeting points will be within easy reach from Basel city centre, accessible by bike and public transport and we will publish them through the Basel Dragons meet up page at the beginning of the respective week.
The runs will start at 9.30am (this means leave at 9.30 am) and cover a distance of approx. 10km blue level -20km red level (1-2h).
The routes will be A to A (starting and finishing at the same place). A rough indication of the route will also be published on the Basel Dragons meet up page, sometimes together with data for your Garmin. Where possible, we will indicate short cuts for runners who prefer a slightly shorter route.

The initial sessions will be organised by Piera.
Please email Piera on piera@baselrunning.ch if you are interested or put your name on the meet up event page if you are interested in taking part, to give her an idea about who might join. Please also indicate your level (blue, red, black). Also feel free to make any suggestions and let her know if you’d like to be involved in organising some runs for the group.
Please note:
- The group leader will determine the start/finish point, suggest a route, provide a rough map and run at medium-red level.
- Fast reds/blacks: if you are faster, you are welcome to join, but please either bear with the slower runners or feel free to go ahead or organise your own route at your own pace.
- Blues/slow reds: if you are slower, you are also welcome to join. Please use meet up to contact other runners of your level, to make sure that you will not be running on your own.
- We will try to suggest routes with fountains along the way. However, since we will sometimes go off the beaten track, please bring/carry your own water supplies, especially on hot days.
- There is no official place to store valuables at the start/finish. Please only bring what you can carry with you during the run (a running water and money holder is great for this). EG http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/1-bottle-hydration-belt-30224599/
- Some of the routes will take us into France or Germany, please bring some ID or passport.
- As these runs will not end at the club house, there is no possibility to shower afterwards before you go home.
- Please also check the Basel Dragons meet up page in case of last minute updates.
