Welcome, runners!
Based in Valley Forge, Pa., the FAST TRACKS running club was founded in 1993 with a very special commitment to women's running. As running has evolved, so has FAST TRACKS, which now welcomes both women and men. We invite anyone with an interest in running, regardless of age, experience, ability, or running goals to join us.
Our commitment is to provide a welcoming environment for all runners. During our scheduled meetings (which include informative speakers), our organized runs, and various social events we share each other's knowledge of health, fitness, running and training while providing ongoing support for all of our members.
We invite you to explore our website for all the exciting things FAST TRACKS has to offer. We offer organized runs nearly every day of the week which accommodates a variety of paces and distances. Our summer and holiday parties, Susan B. Anthony Dinner, Broad Street and Distance Run tailgates are a great opportunity to continue the camaraderie. Anyone is welcome and encouraged to come to any of our runs and other events (click on link for Club Calendar for details).
Membership information is available by clicking on the Join Us link. Fast Tracks is a proud member of USATF (click on Useful Links for details and upcoming events).

Our teacher, Leslie Wright-Riley is both a runner and a Registered Yoga Teacher trained in the Pranakriya style, which uses breath and movement to stir the energy within and help students use their practice to discover themselves anew. Leslie's goal is to open both beginners and those already practicing yoga to new levels of body awareness and the feelings of strength and creative capacity which reside in us all.
Her comments on your comments:
…the input from participants is really helpful. The hamstring concern is a good one and is one I was already thinking about, so I'm actually glad someone brought it up. Not sure if I can squeeze in a post-run flow at the end, but I can certainly design one and go through it with those who are interested. I will also make a handout with a suggested flow. I will also bring some mats.
