Where We Run
We must respect the residents of the neighborhood where our workouts take place, as well as those with whom we are sharing public spaces such as the track. Indoor and outdoor spaces should be left at least as clean or cleaner than how they were found. We must be courteous and thoughtful of the environment we are in at all times.
Our Community
We believe in fostering a community that is supportive, motivating, and inclusive and where fun is at the heart of each session. Whether you are a remote athlete or attending group workouts, M2M members are asked to contribute to upholding this positive environment. We take pride in pushing ourselves and encouraging each other, and we cheer each other on to phenomenal individual results and personal bests. We also value collective accomplishments, self-improvement, and community-building. We strive to support and encourage each other as runners and human beings.
Calling-In
Voicing or Reporting a Concern
Every person has a right to claim and to enforce their right to a services environment free of harassment, discrimination, or any other troubling conduct.

Members who are found to violate the rules of the M2M Community Agreement will have their membership terminated indefinitely.
