Finding your feet as a new runner or new to the Northwest Ohio Area? A run group is the best way to get to know the Toledo and northwest Ohio running community and the lay of the running land. Dave’s Training offers numerous group runs throughout the year that welcome both runners and walkers of all experiences and paces.
Moving through the Holiday Season
It is never too late in the year to start moving. If there are some fun and friendly holiday races on your calendar this season, Dave’s training is excited to introduce the 2026 Dave’s Holiday 5k Training Program. This is a free program open to all levels from beginner to intermediate to help set you up for success for some seasonal races including Dave’s Turkey Chase and the Christmas Village!
Start off your Mondays together!
Throughout the summer, Dave’s Running meets up at various locations for Dave’s Metropark Monday. These run groups are free and open to the public of all ages, paces, and distances. Some attendees are part of the Dave’s Training Programs and meet their groups at the park, others attend with friends for some miles while getting in social time. Monday meet ups with Dave’s allow people the opportunity to find others who move in line with their pace. An variety of paces allow a first time attendee to not be intimidated as they will find ranges from low 8 minutes to those walking with friends and family. Starting in October, Metropark Mondays switch to Dave’s Monday Runday at our Sylvania location. Attendees meet for miles out towards Harroun Park or in the neighborhoods adjacent to the Sylvania location.
