These runs are casual, focused on teaching runners the numerous benefits of easy runs in a training plan, and range between 4 to 5 miles. We will have water available post run.
Please note that final Wednesday of every month is our Pizza Run which meets at Beavercreek Pizza Dive in Beavercreek. Please read the section below for those dates.
Join the Advanced Running Project and New Balance Dayton for an easy 4 mile run (or walk, roll, stroll, etc!) on the final Wednesday of every month (exception is November due to Thanksgiving, it’ll be held a week early) in Beavercreek followed by all you can eat pizza, a beer or soda, and a $2 donation to local charity Shoes 4 the Shoeless all for only $7. We meet at at the home of the best pizza in the Miami Valley (and in our opinion, the state), Beavercreek Pizza Dive! It is free to join us for the run and you only have to pay if you decide to eat! Dates for the runs are below!

Our goal with group runs is to help educate runners on the fundamentals of training and developing sustainable training plans in order to help you achieve your goals. Many of our runners, coaches, and sponsors have experience with the big local races such as the Xenia Half, Flying Pig, Air Force, Indy Monumental and Columbus Marathons and can help you achieve your race goals. Never hesitate to ask us questions and we can always help you train for any race, running, or personal health goals!
