Running
Need to find a trail, group, shoe store or a partner for running? We have resources for you. There are plenty of paths and people to help you become familiar with the running scene here. If you like hills, flat routes or a little of both you will find your favorites. It’s a great way to connect in a new town. Even if you aren’t a “group” runner we suggest trying one a couple of times to help you find your people and to feel connected.
