A few minutes late today as I spent part of my morning at the DMV and couldn’t get to my final edits in time.

Thanks for sticking around!

This time of year is packed with themed 5ks, races for kids and fundraisers, all across the metro.

Enjoy the camaraderie, the fitness gains and the finish line drinks!

Let's dive in!

A LinkedIn article recently caught my eye about how the gym is surpassing the bar as the best place to meet people. The idea is that people are seeking connection, even friendship, and turning to fitness to find it.

But this isn’t new. Runners, we’ve always known this! There’s an opportunity to find community in running, really any fitness setting; think CrossFit, even back to old-school group exercise.

It reminded me that Fargo is a great place for anyone looking to find their community, especially the running kind. Between Runday races and the weekly group runs from Let’s Go Running, there’s something for everyone and everyone is welcomed.

Even if you don’t join a weekly group run or take in the camaraderie of a pace group on race day, running makes you part of the running community. All you need to do is show up!
