Testimonials

"I love the support system from the run club group...everyone is always willing to help us improve without any judgement. I will continue to participate and have referred several friends to join fun runs."

- Linda F.

"After training alone for years, EXMI training group was everything that I needed (and never realized). The camaraderie of the group, encouragement from the coaches and staff, and confidence that I gained was all worth it! I have so many new running friends, and feel so much stronger. I will absolutely keep joining the training program."

- Kelly I.

Joining ExtraMile Running Club has been a transformative experience for me. From my very first run, I felt welcomed by a community that is both supportive and inspiring. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned marathoner, there's a place for everyone here, and the club's diverse training programs cater to all skill levels. The coaches and fellow runners encourage personal growth and celebrate each member's achievements, no matter how small. The group runs are thoughtfully organized, and routes vary, keeping each session exciting and challenging. I've seen my fitness improve significantly, and I've learned so much about proper running techniques and injury prevention.
Beyond the physical benefits, the camaraderie and friendships I've developed here are invaluable. There's a shared spirit of motivation and positivity that permeates every event, making it more than just a club—a true community. Plus, the club's involvement in local races and charity events adds a sense of purpose and connection to the broader community. I wholeheartedly recommend ExtraMile Running Club to anyone looking to enhance their running skills while enjoying the support and encouragement of an amazing group of people. It's not just about running; it's about belonging to something greater.

"Last year I made 2 attempts to qualify for Boston. This spring I joined the Extra Mile training program and it made the difference I needed. With their coaching, support and encouragement I did it!! I finally got my BQ!! It’s a great group who love to run and support and encourage runners at all levels."
