Whatever your goals, we'll help you get there . . . and have fun doing it! Many runners don't run a race at all and just enjoy the environment of running with others. ALL runners are welcome: Beginners (Run/Walkers), Intermediate, Advanced.

In the Fall of 2012, we'll be starting our 15th season (9th year) and we have grown in size every single season! It will be bigger and better than ever before . . . but we will Sell Out, so don't delay.

Whether you participated in one of our previous seasons, or you've always wanted to say "Yeah, I've run a marathon before...no biggie" join our Running Club and train for the marathon.

The VAVi Running Club is proudly powered by Road Runner Sports.
