All of the above. One group run with starts at 6pm and requires headlamps 6mo of the year (trail run). I’ve run as early as 5:30am with a smaller group.

Daylight savings time. I use to run with a group that met twice a week at 6:30 pm. Ther is another group that meets at a track locally Wednesday’s around 5:45 pm. It was easier to meet at that time with my schedule two years ago. Another group meets around sunrise or earlier I just don’t want to get up that early. I’d rather the time be the same each meet than change due to sunlight.
Many of us aren't sure what the hell point you are trying to make and no matter how we guess, it always seems to be something else. Which usually means a person is doing it on purpose.
