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!
