You count down to your annual hometown race, where you always enjoy the best parts of your city. You've taken your running journey along many roads and trails in your area-and so have other runners you pass. If you've thought about running with others, it's time to form a running community with local athletes who share some of your experiences and goals. Here's how to get started.
