In Greensboro We Are Off'n Running!
Let me introduce you to one of my favorite sports stores. Off'n Running at 2201 Joans Avenue here in Greensboro, NC is the most community involved store I have seen in a long time. You want to talk about passionate about what they do! Besides sponsoring numerous running events in Greensboro they are the center of the running world here in the Triad.
They have regular Group runs which meet at the store and go off to different running distances and paces depending on your comfort level. For example this coming Saturday is " Got You Floored Health and Fitness Expo ". The Group Run for this event will leave the store at 8:00 AM. There will be varying routes for different paces and distances, anywhere from 2 to 20 miles! There will also be an optional bootcamp from Ben Roberts of Foundation Fitness. They will have snacks and other post run foods. From 8:00 till 1:00 PM some representatives of Saucany and Brooks will be there. Best of all Off'n Running will be having a Spring Cleaning SALE!

April 27th Trail Group Run - Nat Greene at 6:30 PM

Diane,
It is a great way to meet like minded people and enjoy and learn about an area.
Debe,
We have even more but these are the ones associated with this store.
Lloyd,
Participation is always high. The group runs are a great way for newcomers in our city to meet others that have the same passion and to learn where the good trails are.
