Run Club & Community
Strong runs. Fast friendships.
Many of us run alone, but long-distance running doesn’t have to be lonely! Our Run Empowered community and run club for women lets you work on your running goals while benefiting from the camaraderie and sense of shared achievement in a group.
This virtual group supports your potential with the accountability of a team, professionally guided conversations, and the flexibility to add personalized coaching or training plans. You’ll learn from your coach, but you’ll also learn from — and get inspired by! — each other.
Our community welcomes all women and gender identities who feel that a women's group is the right fit for them.
"Running was just exercise.
Now it's fun."
Our online community is like the running store or trailhead where you meet for your group run. It’s the coffee shop where you gather after. It's a virtual space where you’ll find conversation, shared experiences, celebrations and support from other women who run.
We talk about running gear and the post-run meals we start planning halfway through the long run; we feel safe to air our challenges with family schedules and frustrations about our hormones driving us bonkers. We share a lot of photos and sweaty selfies from our runs and most of all, we encourage each other to get out there and run today.
Our members are in their 30s to 60s and share a love of running. Many of us run alone, but having accountability buddies and a safe space to chat makes running more than a solo pursuit.
No comparisons. No competition.

What running goals do you have for 2024?
Maybe you have a big goal race or a new distance milestone. You could be coming back to running after a break, or maybe this season is for getting faster or building your endurance.
We've got you covered, whether you’ve never run before or you’re starting marathon training.
Our online community and run club gives you expert coaching for your goals along with the motivation and friendly support of a running group.
How to get started:
Join as a member: Membership gives you access to our training resources, chat spaces, coaching and community connection. Your first month is a free trial so you can see what it's all about.
Add a training plan (optional): Choose plan only or custom coaching with an online training log, workout analysis and personalized feedback from Coach Heini.
Start by completing a quick and easy membership application. (It’ll take you no more than 5 minutes. We got out the stopwatch to make sure.) This information about your running history and goals will help us support you fully from day one.
Personalize your training
Joining the community unlocks access to additional personalized coaching opportunities. Add a simple training plan or comprehensive online coaching to suit your schedule, training personality, goals and budget. Adding these is optional, and you're free to take breaks or switch between them from one training cycle to the next.
Both options, combined with the community, give you the experience of flexible training in a group while working on your own goals. Get the level of coaching support that’s right for your needs.

“This year really changed my running life, and a lot of that is because of how much I enjoy run club and having more running friends. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself.”

“The community is welcoming, inclusive and very helpful. Some days I struggle to get out the door to run and it is reassuring to know others have those days too.”

“Before I signed up I felt lost, not knowing what comes next after a Couch to 5K online program. This coaching group and community has been exactly what I was looking for!”
