Running is one of the best sports you can be involved in, not only for
fitness purposes, but also because it can be done just about anywhere with minimal equipment. You only need a good pair of running shoes and the motivation to get going. Running alone on a treadmill or a track can get old fast. Joining a running team can provide a lot of benefits. |

Top 5 Reasons to Join a Race Team and get out to Race:
1. Motivation and Accountability
Signing up for races helps you reach your running or fitness goals. Having a
race date in your future helps you get out the door even when life is busy.
If you train with people who have the same health goals as you they can
provide you with motivation to keep running and enjoy it. Many runners find
that long runs go by a lot quicker and easier when they socialize with friends
while they run.
2. Increased Performance and Fitness
Running regularly will help boost your fitness level and aerobic capacity,
enabling you to run stronger, faster, and longer. In addition, when you run
with others who are competitive and encourage you to run a little harder and
a little longer than you thought you could run, you will experience increased
running performance. As your fitness and performance improve, you will be
able to take your running to the next level. Running in races allow you to
quantify your improved fitness with faster race times.
3. Expert Advice and Coaching
Friends provide a great variety of experiences and solutions to commonly
occurring running related problems. You can gain advice on fueling for runs
and races as well as injury prevention and performance information. Other
members who are experienced runners can also provide you with insider
running tips and guidance.
4. Bigger Social Circle
When you join a running team, your social circle automatically increases. As
you network with people who share similar interests with you, you will gain
friends often for life. Building these networks can also open other doors of
opportunity, both personally and professionally.
5. Safety
Running in a group is much safer than running alone, especially since
there is someone to help or make a phone call if someone in the group is
injured or sick. If running with a group on or across streets, cars are more
likely to take notice and give you the right of way than they might if you
were running alone. When traveling to a race, carpooling and sharing hotel
expense makes the experience more affordable, and you have just created
your own cheering section at the finish line as each of you crosses the tape!
