30s in NoVa

30's in NoVa: A social group for professional, fun thirty-somethings in the Northern Virginia suburbs.

We've outgrown getting drunk on Wednesday nights (there are meetings to be awake for on Thursdays!) but we're still young enough to have fun doing things other than board games and falling asleep at 9pm.

Join us for activities including happy hours, hiking, concerts, local events, festivals, wine tastings, brewery tours, dining out, and sightseeing around DC.

**This group is run a little differently than most meetup groups** - ALL members are encouraged to suggest and plan their own meetups. If you have an idea for a meetup, large or small, you can post it directly to the group calendar without having to go through an approval process from an organizer. Want a few people to meet you for dinner, or want a huge bash at a bar? Announce your idea on the calendar!

The group is based out of Fairfax, so a lot of the group events will be around the outer NoVa Suburbs (Fairfax, Tysons Corner, Falls Church, Vienna, Reston, Herndon, etc), although there will definitely be some meetups in Arlington, Alexandria, and DC, as well.

Please be in your Thirties and have a photo of you on your profile before you request to join the group. Thanks!

I'm a fan of Rev3 events. They are well run and give out good schwag. They have a "Run Rogue 5K" on March 24th @ Fairfax Corner, VA. This is a "fun run" so you don't need to be a running super star to participate :) As is the case for many people in our community, the fight against cancer is close to our hearts. As of this season, two of the... Learn more

  Stephanie - Individual registration and associated fee ($30). I plan on doing it as a group. If our group has enough interested people, maybe 2 groups (walkers and jog/walkers). When you register it will give you the option of donating additional money.

  In case anyone is hesitant about doing this, this will be my first 5K, and I will be slowww & possibly need to walk. :)
