power in numbers
Power in numbers is more than a phrase. It's Safety. Motivation. Accountability. Companionship. Support. Running, and being active in general, provides many physical benefits. This we all know. But it also provides mental clarity and wellness that you may not realize if you haven't tried running before. And doing it within a group training environment makes for an extremely safe, supportive and rewarding experience not just physically, but mentally and socially too.

Why We RUN. Or Walk. Or Wheel. Whatever it takes.
We all move actively for different reasons. Some of us need the accountability to our goals and life style changes. Some of us enjoy the competition, using it as motivation to be our personal best. Some of us do it simply for fun. Some of us want to make fitness and health a priority. We all need the safety in numbers that training with a group provides, as well as the support of those who understand the unique challenges and rewards of running and walking. Some of us would like to meet a partner with similar interests and lifestyles that accompany the desire to be healthy and have fun doing it. And many of us run in honor of a loved one.

What is RRCA Certification?

 Picture
​RRCA Certified Coaches volunteer with their local running clubs, coach clients one-on-one, and coach training programs for groups of runners working towards a common goal such, as completing a 5k, half marathon, or marathon. They work with runners and emphasize the use of intelligent training plans that are based on a scientific body of knowledge and designed to help a runner achieve their goals, while minimizing the risks of injuries. To be RRCA Certified, our running club and coaches must meet a stringent criteria. To learn more, click on the RRCA logo.
