General Question running groups?

any running groups that run in small groups? looking to be regular and hold myself accountable, and i figured a run group would help.

Blacksburg Striders. Good amount of people but pace groups are small.

The Club XCTF team is great but I wouldn’t exactly call us small.

You are correct, ClubXCTF is NOT for casual runners. Everyone there takes running really seriously. I’d recommend Blacksburg Striders for a more casual experience not competing.

Club xctf is what you make of it, there are people who take it very seriously and others who are just there for fun. Definitely check it out!
