What We're About
In America's Fittest City, there are a lot of runners. You can see them on the WO&D Trail and on every street. What if we could bring our runners together to share in the experience and build a community?
Introducing the Falls Church Run Collective.
We are an inclusive run club based in the City of Falls Church, dedicated to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, fostering community through events, like socials and seminars. We welcome runners from all over to do their miles together.
Our Mission
To create an inclusive environment for all fitness levels, promoting health and friendship through regular running and social events.
We want to make running fun by folding it with our community and events.
Who Supports Us
More Great Supporters To Be Announced...
Can anyone join?
Yes. Anyone. Runners, Walkers, and even runners and walkers with strollers and pets. We ask that folks with walkers and pets be extra mindful of their surroundings so not to cause or be a hazard to others.
What if I am not a "runner" or haven't run in a long time?
Don't worry. We got you! We're fans of running, walking, or a combo (the "run/walk" is an excellent way to get in your miles without taxing your body) Routes will be designed so you can shorten them to your desired length. Even if you're not feeling the run on a particular day, come out and mingle.
What if I am really slow (or really fast)?
No problem. You run at whatever pace you want. We'll support you
Do I RSVP for a run?
You don't have to...yet. For now, just show up. We'll start the run 5 minutes after the listed time. If you miss us, pull up the route and do the run and meet us afterwards at posted finish line.
What do I bring?
A good attitude
Your running shoes and comfortable clothes
Water bottle
Where do we meet?
Meet ups will be posted on this site (scroll up) and on social media. We'll make sure you will have the location and the time. We will also post the preferred running routes, and any information provided by our supporters (deals and specials on food, drink, services, shoes & gear!)
Will I know anyone?
I hope so. But come ready to meet other folks. Extroverts and Introverts welcome. The Ambassadors will do their best to break the ice.
What if I am training for a race?
That's awesome. We have folks training for marathons, Ironmans, 5ks, Turkey Trots, etc. Hopefully everyone is "in training" for an active lifestyle. Come get all or some of miles in with us. If you need to do more miles than what we've got scheduled, do a portion of your miles with us.
Can I be more involved in the Falls Church Run Collective or can I make suggestions?
Heck yeah! The goal is to make this the best running community. We want you and your ideas and feedback!!!!

What More Do You Want To Know
Ambassadors
Hi! I am a husband and dad to 3 kids. I wouldn't say I am an avid runner, but I run, sometimes reluctantly. I founded the Falls Church Run Collective because I really didn't like running alone. I'm hoping to make running a fun activity by associating it with socializing and camaraderie. I try to run 3x/wk. I'll see you out there soon.
Junior Ambassadors
I'm Shay, an 8th grader who is interested in all kinds of sports, but especially soccer, baseball, volleyball, basketball, and most recently triathlon. I picked up running to stay in shape. I like running with my dad, so it will probably be fun to run with other people.
Robin Camarote
Rishi Nangia
I'm Robin. I am a Falls Church Resident who loves to be active with my family (husband, 2 daughters, and a son). I love to get outside. I recently completed an Ironman, and now I am training for future races. I try to run 3-4 times per week.
Peter Balazy
Shay Nangia
I love to run and adventure, bonus if I can do both at the same time. Running cleanses my mind, energizes my body, and enables me to explore. I prefer the trails and ultra distances. When I'm not running, you can find me parenting, being a husband, or vanlife-ing across the country. In 2017, I ran every street in the City of Falls Church because why not.
