Frequently Asked Questions?
What should I expect when I come to a group run? Does everyone run together? What if I am slower than the other runners?
Expect to be welcomed warmly and greeted by a friendly run group host. Expect to be introduced to the group; informed of the course and hopefully aligned with other runners who run at your pace. Each run is designed as an out and back, so there are cut-offs in case you don't wish to complete the entire distance.
I heard DC Capital Striders runners volunteer at various races in the community each year, how do I get involved?
Yes, runners volunteer at many races in the community each year. If you wish to help out, please send email to volunteer@dccapitalstriders.com and we will be in touch. Additionally, you can join our volunteer facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dccsvolunteers/
Does the running group offer any training programs?
At this time, DCCS does not offer any formal training programs; however many of our runners are certified personal trainers and running coaches. Many of our run group hosts have years of running experience and can offer training tips and other information related to helping you achieve your personal running goals.
