Running is the type of sport that bonds people across age, gender, race, job, and background. When you’re running side by side with someone, pushing each other to keep going, there’s something magical about the bonds that are formed.

A running club or group is a great way to train for a marathon. You’ll find support, encouragement, advice, and lifelong friendships! Plus, who else can you share poop stories with on a casual 16-mile run? Runners get it.
