A chance for true beginners to meet up and go for an easy run/walk without having to worry about being intimidated by speed and distance! Coached and led by Charles Yoakum, you'll pick a distance from 1 to 3 miles to go, and work on breathing, pace and simply putting one foot in front of the other to get a workout! For true beginners looking for support and the chance to get active!

Our primary missions are fitness & social via short hikes & runs of 1 to 3 hours generally in the Napa Valley. On occasion we will travel to other areas such as Marin or the East Bay. We will be hiking, jogging, running and hopefully sweating with a group of fun, social and supportive people. We have the underlying or secondary purpose of preparing for hiking and running events around the Greater Bay Area and beyond. Watch for opportunities to participate in events from 5K to half marathon.  All …

A social group to share tips and strategies for improving your training in any phase of a triathlon. You show, you go- we are getting together to encourage each other. Weekends or anytime rides, runs and swims in and around Marin for conditioning for any part of a triathlon or just enjoyment. All levels welcome. You can come along for any piece that captures your interest- a ride to West Marin, a open water swim, a run in the hills. You may want to ride once a week and swim once a month. It is a …

This group is inspired by Marin Social Runners group, a fun and motivating running group in Marin. Since I live in Petaluma and can't attend their weekday runs, I wanted to start something closer to home for weekday morning runs. Like the Marin group, I'd like this one to be for intermediate runners to do 5-13 mile runs, at a pace of 9-12 minute miles. But all members from beginners to advanced are welcome to post runs that suit your pace and skill set.

We are a group of intermediate to experienced runners who like to keep our runs social!  If you're a newer runner or coming back from injury, we welcome you to join us for a few miles as you are able.  The majority of our runs are on the trails in Marin, with some road running and track workouts.  We also do destination runs in the East Bay, Sonoma, and San Francisco.  Our run mileage varies from around 5 miles up to 20+, but runners are always welcome to adjust mileage shorter or longer.  We em …

Welcome to our Meetup page! I started this group to bring together local West Marin folk who enjoy staying fit and want to meet new people.  I moved to Bolinas about 2 months ago and have been finding it increasingly difficult to drive "over the hill" for social activities.  So I decided to try and create a community of fitness-minded people right here at the coast, where beautiful trails and vistas abound. What to expect I plan to put 1 or 2 runs on the calendar every week.  Runs will be in Bo …

We are your local running group. Experienced and newer runners. Faster and regular. All are welcome!

The Marin Film & Foodies is a group of like-minded men and women who enjoy a wide variety of movies. Whenever possible, we try to match the ethnic cuisine of the film, but otherwise the goal is just to share a good meal and conversation before or after a movie. We primarily watch movies in Marin County. We regularly patronize the Rafael Film Center, but also visit mainstream cinemas and other local venues. Very rarely we will venture outside Marin and go to a specialty cinema in the East Bay, Sa …

Napa can be a wonderful place to live. It's weather is perfect to a fault (there are no seasons!), which means you can do just about anything you want that doesn't involve snow. Unfortunately, many activities in Napa do involve either fancy -and expensive- dining and/or alcohol. The purpose of this group is to allow those of us who are in the beginning stages of life --either new family, new career and/or new business-- to get out and socialize or be active without spending so much. This group i …

Well so do we, and we're in the very early stages of inviting interested and curious folks to get together and talk possibilities.
