What is Social Stride FXBG?
Social Stride FXBG is a social running club for women in their 20s and 30s in Fredericksburg, VA. Our goal is to build community, stay active, and have fun together. We welcome runners of all experience levels.
Do I need to be able to run a certain speed to join?
Not at all! All paces (speeds) are welcome. Many members run or run/walk. As long as we have a large enough group we split into pace groups too. The number one rule at our runs is no one runs alone. The focus is on community, not speed.
I don't know anyone, can I come alone?
Yes! Many women come solo to their first run. Our community is very welcoming, we are all in this together!
