Wednesday is the night the week stops being new and isn't yet over, the one that usually disappears without leaving anything behind. In Pacific Beach a few dozen people have quietly solved that by meeting on Felspar Street at six and running a 5K loop together. It costs nothing. There is no membership, no sign-up sheet, no pace requirement, and nobody checks whether you came last time. The format is the part worth knowing: the group runs accordion-style with regroup stops built into the route, which means the fast ones loop back and nobody finishes alone in the dark half an hour after everybody else. That single design choice is the reason people who do not consider themselves runners keep turning up. Most of the group stays afterward for food and a drink nearby, and a good share of the regulars met each other standing on this corner. Wednesdays at 6, 1376 Felspar Street.
