Our mission is to be a positive, supportive group of runners and hikers. To build others up and to encourage their progress. We use L.O.U.D. Runners and Hikers because we believe in Lifting Others Up Daily.

We are runners and hikers of all different levels and we want to encourage you whether you are doing your first 5k fun run, or you shoot higher to run a marathon. We definitely want to be inclusive and welcoming.

No harassment, foul language, or abusive behavior will be tolerated within the group either at events or online in comments or instant messaging.

Everyone is treated equally. We strive to be a good example within our community and to keep it clean and to not disturb plants or wildlife on our adventures.
