Join Us!
Want to run with us? We have many training programs as well as a weekly group run, called the Bagel Run. We also have the Banditos Taco Run on the first Friday of every month.
How Do I Join the Bagel Run?
Show up at the parking lot of the Columbia Swim Center in the Wilde Lake Village Center a little before 7:00am on a Saturday morning. If it’s your first time at a Bagel Run, the veteran Bagel Runners will introduce you and find a group that is going a similar distance and pace as you. The groups will leave the parking lot at 7:00am sharp!
Banditos Taco Run
Join us and Banditos Tacos and Tequila for a casual 3.75 mile run through the Maple Lawn neighborhood, and meet up at Banditos afterward. Specials/discounts for members
6:00 pm, 8170 Westside Blvd, Fulton, MD 20759
