Raleigh Running Collective was founded by three coaches who share a simple yet powerful vision: to bring the energy, structure, and camaraderie of group training to adult runners in the Raleigh area. We saw a gap in our community—few options for early morning training, limited access to tracks, and virtually no adult teams focused on shared racing goals or team-based racing opportunities (yes, those exist—and they’re awesome!).

We want to grow, what started as a small group of passionate runners, into a vibrant collective where athletes of all skill levels train with purpose, connect with others, and chase their goals as a team. Over time we plan to build the broader running community, providing opportunities for racing and running experiences to celebrate all aspects of running. 

Our mission is to provide a supportive and inspiring environment where adults not only can enhance their running performance but also rediscover the joy of training with others. Whether you're aiming for a new PR, training for a marathon, or simply looking for a consistent, structured workout, we’ve created the space—and the support—to help you thrive.

With access to early morning track workouts, personalized coaching, goal-oriented training plans, and unique opportunities to race as a team, we offer something rare and powerful: community-driven progress.

At Raleigh Running Collective, we believe running is more than just exercise—it’s a way to grow, to connect, and to belong. Our vision is to build a lasting community where adult runners feel empowered, encouraged, and part of something bigger than themselves.

What We Value:

• Inclusivity: We welcome runners of all backgrounds, paces, and goals. Everyone has a place on our team.
• Community: Training is better together. We believe in showing up for each other—whether it's an early morning track session or cheering from the sidelines.
• Growth: We support both physical and personal development. Our training helps you become a stronger runner, and our environment helps you become a more confident, connected person.
• Fun: While we’re serious about training, we never forget the joy of the run. From team races to social meetups, we keep it fun and fulfilling.
• Team Spirit: Individual goals matter, but there’s something powerful about working toward them with others. That’s why we embrace team race events and shared milestones.

Together, we’re redefining what it means to be an adult runner—one stride, one goal, and one team moment at a time.
