Program Description

Join us in this 8-week social movement series for walkers, interval-trainers, and runners as we embark on exploring the Town of Vinton and enjoying camaraderie over a cup of coffee! Winter Warriors is Fleet Feet Roanoke's active winter social program! It's purpose is to encourage all ages and paces to stay active (and sane) during the colder months of the year. It allows you to meet up and run or walk with other like-minded people who want to finish out 2025 strong and kick off 2026 right! So let's challenge ourselves to get outside, defeat the winter weather, and become a true Winter Warrior.

 

Bring your family and friends! This series is open to the public - all ages and paces are welcome. Have family visiting for the holidays? Bring them along for a morning full of memories in the making, all while showcasing our incredible community at Fleet Feet Roanoke and RND Coffee, as well as the beauty of the Roanoke River Greenway System. 

 

Registration through RunSignUp concludes on 11/29/25, but join us anytime!
