I joined the group in January 2024 and have enjoyed every mile! 🫣 You can’t find a better group of people to encourage, motivate and support your efforts in your running adventure. Coach Mike has created more than a group of runners, he has cultivated a “family” that run.

Solid running group. Coach provides support throughout the year, no matter what race you plan on completing. Weekly tips with support videos and QA sessions monthly outside of planned running sessions. Coach’s passion for the sport shines through at every run, meet up and video.
