Run Clubs and Races

Below are Run Clubs in Williamsburg, Newport News, and the surrounding areas. Note that the time usually changes to 6 pm for daylight savings at most of the clubs. If you are new to running or worried about being slow, know that the run clubs are welcoming to everyone, regardless of current level of fitness. Also, don't be afraid of walking up to someone and introducing yourself! (Yes, it can be scary, but it's a great skill).

Join your Graduate Council President, Quinn at the DoG Street Pub run club on Mondays in Colonial Williamsburg!
