Run Local, Run Further: Brand New Running Group
Mar 9 @ 8:30 am
Fletcher Community Park

Discover the beauty of the area and get fit in the process with the introduction of a new running group! Inviting all levels of runners, the Run Local Run Group can help you explore your local community like never before.

If you are looking for a new way to stay active, meet people, and explore your local area this is the running group for you! iDream Athletes Foundation is excited to launch and announce the new Run Local Run Group starting in March! Our new monthly run group is perfect for runners of all levels, ages, and paces. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned veteran, come join us on Thursday morning, March 9th at 8:30 am at Bill Moore Community Park (formerly Fletcher Park) and start clocking those miles.

Each month we will explore a new spot in the area to meet up and run together. We will always run on a weekday morning, so that you won’t miss out on your evening and weekend group runs that you already have on your schedule!

We know that staying healthy isn’t just about our physical bodies – it’s about community too. That’s why we’re focusing on creating a strong sense of camaraderie among runners in the area. Whether you want to run 3 miles or push yourself with longer distance goals, our group will be there to support you every step of the way. Of course, the best part is that the meet-ups are free!

At Run Local Run Group we believe in creating an inclusive environment for everyone in our community. We encourage you to bring friends and family of all abilities so that everyone can feel included and motivated to reach their goals. Let’s come together as a community and spread health and wellness through running!
