Barefoot Runners of Northern Virginia and DC is a group of runners who have left behind the modern day shoe and run in Vibram Five Fingers, minimalist shoes (Nike Free, Terra Plana, etc.), or completely barefoot! Barefoot running allows the body to easily fall into its natural stride and run healthier. Lots of new people are exploring barefoot running thanks to people like Christopher Mcdougall (Born to Run) and Barefoot Ted. Come join us for a run today!  Everyone is welcome - even curious non- …

Our weekday runs are always by time, not distance, so that we can al …

This is a group for beginner runners who want to run in a group of runners with similar skill set. We started this group because we believe most people that are not elite runners would shy away from a running group with elite runners. We wanted to open a door for beginner runners to learn the basics of running through interval training and in turn increasing their mileage, speed and confidence to tackle a 5K, 8K 10K or more.

I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. Do I believe the world's still there? Is it still out there? … Yeah. We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different. (Memento, 2000) No matter what anyone tells you - words and ideas can change the world. (Dead Poets Society, 1989) See, Mr. Gitts, most people never have …

We are excited to meet with other local active, and not so active, dog owners who are interested in running (or walking) with their dog for general fitness or to lose a couple extra pounds (both you and your dog). Runners and walkers are welcome. The goal of the group is too share dog friendly races in the area and to provide a forum so that dog owners can meet and train together.

The Running Yogis offer free 20 minute mini-class following group or individual runs. In order to be efficient runners, our bodies have to maintain a certain amount of stiffness (hello, hips and hamstrings), but too much stiffness equals altered form, pain, and eventually injury. Yoga is the perfect way to keep the stretching active and involve multiple muscle groups simultaneously—this is what improves flexibility in tight bodies. This speedy, mini-class will focus on feet, hamstrings, IT bands …
