Rise & Run Club with TotalRunnerAthletics

Welcome to the Rise & Run Club—a community where every runner, regardless of experience, is embraced and empowered. Whether you're a seasoned runner keeping the momentum from our summer sessions, someone returning to running after a break, or even brand new to the sport, this club is designed for you. We believe that every runner has a place here, whether you're curious about starting, looking for accountability, recovering from an injury, or aiming to conquer a new distance. Our inclusive environment ensures that everyone, from run-walkers to marathoners, can thrive. You’ll find the support, encouragement, and camaraderie you need to achieve your personal goals—at your own pace. This is more than just a running club; it's a journey of growth, confidence, and community.

Program Highlights:

​

Early Morning Motivation: Rise and shine with purpose as you lace up your running shoes and hit the trails or roads with a group of like-minded women. Our 5:00 to 6:00 am sessions offer the perfect blend of accountability and camaraderie to make those early wake-up calls more enjoyable and rewarding.

Trail, Road, and Track Running Opportunities: Whether you prefer the serenity of winding trails, track workouts, or the rhythm of urban streets, our program offers opportunities to participate in all three. Discover new routes, challenge yourself, and soak in the beauty of the morning scenery.

Inclusive Community: All runners are welcome, regardless of experience or pace. Our sessions embrace diversity and foster a supportive atmosphere where every participant feels valued and empowered to reach their goals.
Safe and Confident Running: We understand the importance of safety and confidence, especially during early morning runs. Our program provides a safe space for women to run with confidence, knowing they're surrounded by supportive peers and experienced leaders.

Connection and Friendship: Beyond the miles, our Run Club is a platform for building connections and forming meaningful friendships. Experience the joy of meeting new people, sharing stories, and forging bonds that extend beyond the trails.

Race Opportunities: Have you ever thought about running a 5k or maybe even a half marathon? Looking to try a new race distance or maybe set a new PR?
