Hi, everyone my wife and I are trying to find a running club that's cool with little kids. We both run pretty regularly but we never get a chance to do it together because we got two toddlers (2 and 3 yrs). We just got a running stroller and wanted to join a running club or group. Any help or suggestions would be amazing.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a 5k event as part of the SAS Championship on Saturday, October 12, at 8:00 AM. The event will take place at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, NC, and promises to be an unforgettable experience with food, awards, music, and more!

 The YMCA of the Triangle will be our charitable partner for this event.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further information.

Thank you,
Daniel

Somewhat new to Raleigh are and about to start up a new half marathon training plan. Does anyone know any somewhat flat routes or trails close to North Hills area? Have done Shelley lake but running the loop multiple times can get old quick. Any recommendations?

Hi runners of Raleigh! I’m reaching out in desperate need of some help 😂. I’m new to the Raleigh area and currently training for a marathon. I live off Lake Boone trail and it is incredibly hilly. There are massive and constant hills in every direction. I actually haven’t been able to find flat terrain since I moved here. Hills make you stronger of course, but not everyday! It’s ultimately having a negative effect on my training as it’s making it nearly impossible for quality “easy runs.” I can’t keep my heart rate down and my legs aren’t able to recover properly so that I can maximize my “hard” days. I’m even more nervous for when I have to really start ramping up the mileage and increasing my long run distances. I’m wondering if anyone is having a similar experience. More importantly, I would greatly appreciate any recommendations on where to go for super flat easy runs. Thanks in advance!

Hey runners! I am part of a team of researchers at the University of Minnesota conducting research on the behaviors that people experience while running, and I need your help!

You can complete a 10-minute online survey to contribute to this important and understudied area of research by going to: z.umn.edu/runningstudy. You are eligible to participate if you are 18 or older, live in the United States, and have run at least once a week for at least 1 year. For every survey completed, a $1 donation (up to $500) will be made to your choice of the following running charities:

Athlete Ally

Black Girls RUN!

Girls on the Run

Team Red, White, and Blue

Hey triangle runners! Consider signing up for this virtual 5k to support a program at UNC Chapel Hill offering paid summer internships for women in science.

WinSPIRE (Women in Science Promoting Inclusion in Research Experiences) is a paid six-week-long immersive summer mentorship program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that provides cohorts of woman-identifying and nonbinary high school students, focusing on students from underrepresented groups and first-generation college students, with hands-on experience in a research laboratory, engaging college-prep workshops, and an extensive support network of women in science.

I’m saw a post on ultra running that was discussion doing night runs for their training in Durham. It made me wonder where one can run at night with no issues. Umstead. Just park outside of the park and walk in? Any ideas. Otherwise. I’m more located south so I have the Neuse rive greenway around me that closes at dark.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone know if you would get in trouble for trying to run through the SAS campus?

I’ve been running outside now with COVID19 and I’m looking for some tracks they may be open to the public. Does anyone know of any?

Running the City of Oaks full and I’d like to do my last 20 miler on the marathon course so I’m not running it for the first time on race day.

Can anyone recommend a free/cheap garage or public lot to park in for a few hours around NC State or Cameron Village?

Hello runners, I'm looking to do a half and eventually a full marathon this year and was checking out some training programs for external motivation. Does anyone have experience with Galloway or Runologie programs? I'm at ~12 MPW now solo and this will be my first long race.

Update: Ran with Fleet Feet's group this morning and it was a blast. Half marathon here I come.

Hello? Is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me!

Join us as we lace up our running and walking shoes to bring Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) down. LBD is the second most common form of degenerative dementia, affecting more than 1.4 million individuals in the United States. Despite this, many people have never heard of the disease. This race aims to raise awareness of LBD and funds for Lewy Body Dementia Association, Inc., which provides resources and support to those affected by LBD and promotes research into this devastating disease.

First Annual LBD 5k: Lace Up to Bring Lewy Down! June 10, 2017 9:00 am at WakeMed Soccer Park Register or sign up to volunteer here: https://app.racereach.com/event/lbd-5k-lace-up-to-bring-lewy-down

This is not a "coached" program per se for liability issues, but the group will be meeting 3 times a week for runs based on the "Run Less, Run Faster" training program, and will be led by Raleigh Trail Runner's organizers.

Tuesday - Interval Workout
Thursday - Tempo Run
Saturday - Long Run

Info about the kickoff meeting - http://i.imgur.com/dodtr9K.png

You can sign up/RSVP at raleightrailrunners.org (must register on meetup.com) - They recommend that you be able to run at least 10 miles at the start of the training.

Any questions let me know here, or feel free to PM.

My friends and I have been renting Best of My Love the past few years for the OBX marathon. This year we bit off more than we could chew and have several empty rooms.

For around $450, you can get a suite in the house for the week, or a bed in the bunk room for less. If you are running the race we can even provide transport to the starting line.

Several of us are just along for the week of OBX relaxation. We usually cook dinner together and have movie nights and there is mild drinking. You can interact with us as much or as little as you choose.

Edit: changed the price to $450

If anyone is interested I'm going to start hosting a weekly single track run every Monday at 6:00 pm.

I'm a big fan of group runs but could never handle the crowds/parking trying to get downtown for the nOg run.

Here is this weeks run. Please go to The Raleigh Trail Runners meetup page to RSVP (and to see future runs, as the location will change)

I also posted to runnit.

Greetings I was registered for the Neusiok Trail Run which was supposed to happen in January. The organization putting it in also cancelled the Graveyard 100 scheduled for march. The races were cancelled for personal reasons and under very shady circumstances. The race director owes $12,880 to registered runners. If you know any racer in eastern nc or va area (or anywhere) that were registered can you please send me a message.

Hey Raleigh runners,

Tomorrow morning there is the 6th annual Break the Silence 5K to benefit the NCSU counseling center. All proceeds go to help provide free support for young adults who may be struggling with issues like depression, mental illness, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.

The race is at 10 AM at the WakeMed soccer park in Cary. You can get more info, register, or donate to the cause if you'd like here http://www.ncsusigmapi.com/run

It will be a fun time! Given the nature of the cause, it isn't very competitive but it's a good way to get a run in and support a good cause at the same time.

Hi all,

I just moved to Raleigh and work in RTP. Where are some of your favorite places to run? I've been around the greenways and on the American Tobacco Trail. Are there any tracks open to the public that I could get on?

Going to keep an ongoing list, starting off here, I'm sure I'm missing tons so feel free to add. Also feel free to post below which groups you're in/runs you attend, so you can meet up with other redditors.

##Local Weekly Runs An index of the numerous bar/brewery/restaurant/group runs throughout the Triangle. Usually held at the same time/location every week. Check the links for exact info and times.

##Run Groups/Clubs

These are some groups/organizations/clubs you can join. If you're looking for extra motivation, coaching, or some weekly runs that don't meet up at one particular location every week. Some have cost associated with them so that is included.

##Stores

In addition to the bigger chains out there (Dicks, REI, Omega) we have quite a few speciality run stores in our area.

I am not going to be able to run it and I just heard that they do not allow refunds or deferrals...
