## About the Community

Running is more than distance or pace for Iron Horse Run Club. It is a way to share experience, build confidence, and help each other take the next step. Read the complete [About page](https://ihrun.club/about).

The community also created [Guilee.mn](https://guilee.mn/) to share firsthand running knowledge, interviews, stories, practical guidance, and marathon experiences in Mongolian.
