Gainesville isn’t just a college town—it’s a running town. Whether it’s a sunrise jog down the Hawthorne Trail or a group run with music pulsing through the air, runners are lacing up for more than miles. They’re chasing clarity, community, and connection.
That’s exactly the spirit behind Peak Pulse Gainesville, a fast-growing run club founded by local runner Aydan Child. What started as a casual meet-up among friends has exploded into a vibrant movement, bringing together hundreds of people each week to move, laugh, plunge (yes—cold plunge), and push their limits.
