paces of anywhere from 6 minute to 12 minute miles. We have walkers in
our club if you are not a runner.
2. GET INVOLVED: The River Valley Runners are involved in several local
races. It’s fun to volunteer your time at these races.

4. HAVE FUN: Fun is what life is all about! The River Valley Runners throw parties and eat some of the best food around! We meet monthly and have a great time.
5. GET STARTED RUNNING: Starting a fitness program can be tough. Pointers, words of encouragement, or a new exercise partner can be just the motivation you need to get you on the roads and running.
