I Run, You Run

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 (we have some very fast runners in the group, but 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 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?).

If you want to have fun when you're running, and make some great new friends, this is the group for you!

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 have trained together for the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler, VA Beach Rock n Roll Half Marathon, Army Ten Miler and the Marine Corps Marathon.

We will soon start training for the Shamrock Half Marathon, Cherry Blossom Ten Miler, Flying Pigs Marathon and later this year, the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in Va Beach, the Army Ten Miler, and both Chicago and Marine Corps Marathon.

Of course, you don't have to be running a race to join our training runs -- we just need the company to keep us motivated 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.
