FAQs

When and Where Do You Meet?

Our full schedule is available on our home page! In general, though, it’s pretty easy:

Mornings, usually at 6am (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), we meet at 407 Roanoke Street, near downtown Christiansburg. Formerly Brugh Coffee and a FedEx location, it’s a well-lit and safe parking lot.

Evenings, at 6pm on Mondays and Thursdays, we meet near the Montgomery County Courthouse main entrance, just around the corner from Iron Tree Brewing Company. Abundant free parking is available nearby.

There’s walking and running?

Yes! We walk and run throughout the week. Mornings are just runs but each evening meetup (Mondays and Thursdays at 6pm) includes walking and running.

On Mondays at 6pm, we walk, usually for 30-45 minutes through neighborhood streets.

On Thursdays at 6pm, there’s a walking group AND a running group. Often, there’s a dozen or more people in each group. We stay together and look out for each other.

Who can come to Christiansburg Run Club?

EVERYONE is welcome at Christiansburg Run Club. We mean it.

Bring your kids. Bring your dogs. New to the area? Join us! First time out for a walk in a long time? We want YOU! Experienced runner looking for a workout? We’ll bring the hills. Everyone is welcome at Christiansburg Run Club.

What’s the route?

We don’t have set routes—that’s part of the adventure. You won’t get lost, though. The route is set while we’re out running or walking and is based on what the group wants to do that day. Plan to be out for 30-40 minutes.

What if I can’t keep up?

We’re an inclusive, no-drop group for both running and walking. Instead of multiple pace groups, we regroup frequently and make sure an experienced person who knows the area is in the back. You’ll always have someone to run or walk with here at Christiansburg Run Club.

Do you walk on Thursdays? Can I just come for the beer?

Yes! There is walking on Thursdays. There’s always a big group of walkers. Several of us don’t run ever—we come to walk and hang out.

Yes! You can just come for the beer after on Thursdays. Another popular option: join us around 6:45pm on Thursdays at Iron Tree Brewing Company. There’s usually a food truck too. If you arrive before us, stake out a big table! And if you don’t drink beer, don’t worry: many of us don’t and there’s root beer, soda, and water too!
