Best running group ever! From my very first run with the group seven years ago, I have felt welcomed, encouraged, and supported. Debbie Voiles is amazing! She personally welcomed me on my first run, and took the time during the run to check in with me and find out more about me. She knows everyone by name, and always introduces everyone. I moved away four years ago, and the local running group can’t hold a candle to RT! I never was welcomed, no one offered to run with me, show me the route, etc. I tried a few times, and just never clicked. Recently I was back in Tampa so I came to a run.

And to think, a little over a year ago I was...
Read moreSo happy to have found mojo for running podcast which then led me to Coach Debbie Voiles and the Run Tampa Group. I am new to running, but within a month of listening to Debbie I was able to run my first mile without stopping. I then started attending group runs and making friends. Shortly after that I was running 3 miles without stopping. By following Debbie’s wise advice I have improved both endurance and speed. Everything you could ever possibly need to help you to become a stronger better healthier runner, you will gain through the run Tampa group. The atmosphere is beyond positive: you’re brand new and still you feel like family! I really cannot say enough good things about this...
