Capital Area Runners
Capital Area Runners is a DC metropolitan area club that was founded to provide group training opportunities for highly motivated and competitive minded runners of all ability levels. We meet for organized workouts 6 days perweek with the Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday sessions open to all comers, and the Tuesday, Thursday and Friday sessions open to registrants in the CAR Distance Training Program. We have a current membership of 200+ runners, most of whom are training for distances ranging from 5k through the marathon.
Annual membership in Capital Area Runners is available for $40. This general membership covers participation in the Wednesday 7:00 PM fun runs from Road Runner Sports in Falls Church, the weekend morning group runs (7:00 AM from May thru October; 8:00 AM from November thru April), receipt of the weekly CAR e-newsletter containing information on upcoming workouts, race results, and training tips, and participation in CAR social events which take place throughout the year. The general membership workouts are open to all runners regardless of CAR membership, but we ask that all regular attendees become CAR members to help defray the costs of items such as group insurance and refreshments that are provided at aid stations that we set up during many of the weekend runs.

For runners who cannot join CAR in person for the team workouts, online training options are available for a cost of $200 for 3-4 month training programs leading up to a target event. For more information, contact George Buckheit at George@capitalarearunners.com.
