Our weekly sunday 5k run is a super inclusive pace (~10 min mile) and also stops midway through to take a break and chit chat for 10ish mins. Allows people to get to know each other while also catching their breath.
Did not know that tbh. We do tend to kind of rubber band when running but we make sure to wait at lights to regroup together. Helps ensure people feel included and not sprinting to get back to the group.

10min/mile is actually the average 5k pace. As in the 50th percentile, so it might not be as inclusive as you think!
The 10min break is great though. Maybe important at that pace!

My run club does a weekly 5k run/walk (4min run, 2 minute walk). We’ve also done a 0-5k program for new runners.
Both have been great for newer runners and those returning from injury, etc.
