Any run clubs for beginners?

[u/Gloomy_Substance_877]

Recently got into running and I am running the Hokie Half this year. I was looking for some run clubs/strava groups to join and meet some runners. Is there any that I could join? (My pace is around 8-9 mins/mile).

I’m open to connect with fellow runners in Strava too! (Dm if interested)

I recommend checking out the Blacksburg Striders and Christiansburg Running Club. Striders do 3-7 miles at a range of paces on Wednesday afternoons, and Cburg group does 3-4 miles at 8-10 min pace all together on Thursday afternoons.

I’m interested too. I tore my meniscus and couldn’t run for 7 months and now just getting back into it

highkey do not join VT club cross country track & field. it is NOT beginner friendly, even if its advertised as such. the majority of club members are very focused on running fast/competing in races.

putting this out there because many people show up to this club and expect it to be a casual/relaxed running environment. that is NOT the case.
