Beckley Running Group details: This group is hosted by Beckley Running Supply and Active Southern West Virginia. Starting November 12th, meet every Thursday at 6pm in Downtown Beckley at the Beckley Running Supply store. This group will offer three running distances and three group leaders every Thursday. Membership & Wellness Director at the YMCA of Southern West Virginia Ryan Gilkerson will lead a group for a 5K distance, area runner Missy Burleson will lead a group for a 10K distance, and BRS owner Terry Hoskins will lead a group for a 10 mile distance. These different options will give you the opportunity to challenge yourself and move up in distance as you become more comfortable.
