It is easy to find somebody to push you or pace you. It is easy to find others to race with or race against. It is easy to find somebody a lot like you in pace, in interests, or in experience. If you’re having an off day or recovering from an injury or long run, it’s easy to find somebody to run slow or walk with you.
It doesn’t matter how fast or far you run (or walk,) how old you are, whether or not you like to chat, or what your goals are, if you like to run you’ll fit right in.
