We’re a diverse group of runners who run most Saturday mornings and would love for you to join us! We have a range of ages, paces, and athletic abilities and backgrounds, but we enjoy running as part of a group.
This group was born on Saturday, August 3, 2024, after Pacers Running Store cancelled the Saturday morning long runs. These runs began nearly 18 years ago by kind people with a love for running and running with other people. In order to keep that same love of running with others alive, the NoVA Rogue Runners were born.
