Training Groups

Listed below are various running/training groups that meet formally or informally in and around the Dayton area. We are always looking to add to this list, and there really are no guidelines to define a training group other than that you meet regularly and at the same place/time so that people can find you. The ORRRC receives many e-mails & calls from runners simply looking for groups to run with, so if you are a member of a group that meets the simple criteria above, send an email detailing your group so we can post it here.

Tuesday Night Turtles

Last Updated on Friday, 16 January 2009 20:16

The Tuesday Night Turtles is an informal group that meets on Tuesday nights (DUH!!) at 6:30 p.m. in the parking lot just east of the Dayton Marriott Hotel. The distances vary from 3 to 9 miles over some fairly hilly roads through Dayton, Oakwood, and Kettering. If the hills are too daunting, the River Corridor bikeway is close by as well. The pace of these runs varies based on the individual, but we have runners of all calibers (anywhere from a sub 7:00 to 11:00 per mile pace) so there will most always be someone to run with.

Miami Valley Track Club

The Miami Valley Track Club may be one of the best kept secrets in the Dayton area. The club has been active on various levels since the early 80's. Primarily it services the Dayton-Springfield area as the premier club for youth interested in the Junior Olympic sports of Cross Country in the fall and winter, and Track & Field in the summer.

5Rivers Running Team

Last Updated on Friday, 11 June 2010 00:43

The 5Rivers Running Team was formed in early 2007 after a need was recognized to coach, train, and mentor novice as well as veteran runners. The name 5Rivers relates to the five waterways (Great Miami River, Stillwater River, Mad River, Twin Creek and Wolf Creek) in Dayton and Montgomery County area. Don't let the word "Team" intimidate you! Our membership spans a broad range from recreational runners to veteran athletes, with the majority being recreational runners.
