WHAT IS RUN ALEXANDRIA?
Robert Finch once said “True belonging is born of relationships not only to one another but to a place of shared responsibilities and benefits. We love not so much what we have acquired as what we have made and whom we have made it with.”
It's in that spirit that RUN ALEXANDRIA was born. We are a community of running people; passionate about our sport and determined to achieve our goals in running and in life. We're dedicated to all things running related in Alexandria, MN and the surrounding Lakes Area. We welcome and encourage all runners of all levels and abilities to join us on our group runs. Whether you are training for your first 5k or training for an ultra-marathon, let's do it together! We believe it's the power of community and the unparalleled ability of our fellow runners to push us to greater heights that make us the best version of ourselves that we can possibly be.

Let's Move. Forward. Together.

​TRAIN
Want to start training for a race? You will find the collective knowledge here to get you on the right track no matter what your running or fitness goals may be. If you want more than just "know how", and training plans, join the group for any of our organized runs and make training fun again! All are welcome and no one will be left behind.
RUN
For most of us, running faster, farther or stronger doesn't just happen on its own. And for some, a long pattern of running alone has left them plateaued and feeling burnt out. It could be, simply, some company for the miles is all you need to keep your routine fresh and fun, stay motivated and accountable, and meet others with similar pace, goals and running aspirations. Whether you're interested in running for fun, running for fitness, or running for friendships, you've found the right place.
LIVE
Running, in many ways, is the consumate parallel to life itself. It's about endurance, perseverance, overcoming obstacles and pressing on in the face of adversity. It's about knowing that there are no short cuts to anywhere worth going. It's about never giving up.
It's this common understanding that binds us together as a community of runners. It's these truths that we are so accutely aware of that allow us to form immediate connections with one another. It's the bond forged over miles and miles of pavement and trails that solidifies those connections and sews the seed of deep and lasting friendships. That's ultimately why Run Alexandria exists, because we are better together!
