I think we can all agree that running with a group is more fun than running alone especially on cold, rainy days, or long distances. Why not come meet people with similar interests and train for a race or two if that is your goal? We are a fun social group of runners, so come out and meetup with us.

We strive to promote running and fitness in the community. Our goal is to make this an active group and not just another list of people. We are currently looking for assistant organizers on the Pennisula!

We do recommend that if you are going to be running local races and want to receive the local discounts from the running stores etc that you join the Tidewater Striders. Their website is www.tidewaterstriders.com. The Tidewater striders send out a nice newsletter with some training tips too! Check their site out!

Stay Motivated and Meetup with us! Keep Running!

Want to attend?

Please join the HRR Shamrock Novice Marathon Training group for its long run. This series of long runs is targeted at first time marathoners or someone who is getting back to marathons after taking an extended break. Ideally you should be able to run a comfortable ten minute pace for 10+ miles to start in with this group. At the meetup, I'll provide handouts with a detailed training schedule. Read more

What members are saying

 Nice people 

 We were running at a pace that made it difficult but not impossible to talk. I personally enjoy conversations while i am running.
