We are a group of runners in our 20's and 30's, with members ranging from beginner runners to those who have been running for years. Nothing like knowing others are waiting for you to make sure you go out and run! We are not competitive, regardless of pace (even if you can't run the whole thing, it's ok), and we always welcome new faces!
Our runs are always by time, not distance, so that we can all begin and end together.
There are plenty of groups out there for competitive runners (track workouts, anyone?) but not much for the casual or beginner runner who wants to train for a race (or run for other reasons -- personal goals? Weight Loss? Just because?).
The focus will be getting people who are committed to train together and motivate each other, no matter how slow or far you go at first. No need to be intimidated!
We also participate in many local races as a group (check out our calendar) -- it's always a blast! Running is a lot more fun in a group. We are now training for the VA Beach Rock n Roll Half Marathon, Army Ten Miler and Marine Corps Marathon. Of course, you don't have to be running a race to join our training runs -- we just need the motivation to start and finish each time!
The vast majority of the runs will be planned in the Arlington area. We usually grab a snack or coffee on those weekend morning runs and plan a happy hour (and occasional social events like BBQ or tubing trip) about once a month.
Make sure to post a picture so we know who you are!
Monday run! woo hoo!
Lets meet at the free parking garage in Courthouse for a quick 40 minute run. I'll post the route later (it will probably involve running on streets to avoid darkness and may be hilly b/c... well, it's a hilly area).
The underground garage is on Clarendon Blvd btwn Adams and Veitch Sts (near the AMC Theater). Read more
