Top 10 She Runs This Town Myths

Top 10 She Runs This Town (SRTT) Myths - BUSTED!


It has come to our attention that there are a few myths about She Runs This Town. In this blog, we've compiled a list of the top ten myths we hear from new members below and help bust a few of them. 


1. This group is just for moms.

Our running club is for anyone that identifies as a woman and wants a safe space to run, period. If you are not okay with this, we are not the club for you. 



2. Only "fast" runners can join.

We welcome members of all paces. There is no pace minimum or maximum. We host "no-drop" monthly runs to support runners across the pace spectrum.


3. Group runs are mandatory.  

False. We do have group runs and people are welcome to join as they can. But we respect those that want virtual support and do not run with others. Members find much inspiration and motivation in our Facebook group without joining a group run in person.


4. There is a cost to join.

We are a FREE group. You do have to go through a screening process to join our private Facebook group, but there is no cost.


5. You have to be a runner already to join.

We accept members wherever they are in the running journey. Whether running your 20th marathon or never running a mile, you are always welcome here.


6. You must look like a runner to join.  

We welcome all body shapes, ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, etc. We strongly believe there is no one way to "look" like a runner. 


7. There is drama.

Nope. We have a no-drama policy; if people can not be respectful and follow the rules, they may be asked to leave the group.


8. You have to live in Louisville to join.

Our group has members from aound Kentucky and some other states! Other SRTT chapter members will often come looking to us for group runs when they are visiting Louisville, and we are happy to have them join.


9. We only run.

We do more than run. We have play dates for our kids, book clubs, ladies' night out, and charity events. We volunteer at races too!


10. It's nothing special; just a running group.

No way. It's more than just lacing up and putting one foot in front of the other. It can be a way for you to meet some fantastic friends, find inspiration and possibly change your life!
