Brooks Run Club Shakeout Run with Des & Kara

Brooks’ marathon-weekend programming kicks off with an easy 5K shakeout run led by Des Linden and Kara Goucher, with fellow Brooks athletes Erica Kemp, Jess McClain, and Susanna Sullivan also on hand. Expect a relaxed, conversational pace designed to loosen the legs rather than test them, followed by a casual hangout back at Brooks Hyperion House with complimentary coffee, electrolyte drinks, and breakfast (available while supplies last).

Good to know

• Starts early at 8:00am BST — arriving a bit ahead of time helps with check-in and settling in
• Bring typical shakeout essentials (light layers, hydration, and anything needed for a quick post-run refuel)
• Food and drinks are limited to what’s available on the day, so earlier tends to be better
