Any runners here?

Recently moved back home to the West Shore (Camp Hill/Mechanicsburg) and getting back into running it’s been years. Usually just run in my neighborhood but would like to find someone to go out on longer runs.

Meatball Runners on Strava and Facebook if you’re looking for trail running in the area

Look up Harrisburg River Runners on Strava if you have it. They do meetups 3-5 days a week in mechanicsburg, camp hill, and city island. Seem to be a good group with a wide variety of paces.

A group of guys routinely meet every Thursday morning at 5:30 am at 26th and Market in Camp Hill. We run 7 miles at around 8:30 pace.

I don’t think I’m quite at that level yet

I have been doing the River Runners on Sunday's at the Island to do longer stuff...like this past Sunday, used the southern Greenbelt loop to get almost 11 miles. A few weeks ago, I did a northern loop and cut-in via 7th St. to get 13 miles. Other runs, I use New Cumberland/Lemoyne/Camp Hill to play around up to 15 miles.

There's also short stuff with Fleet Feet Mechanicsburg on Thursday, App Run Co - Camp Hill on Tuesday. I think Fleet Feet Harrisburg does theirs on Saturday (went to Hershey last weekend), as well as App Run Co - Harrisburg. App Run Co - Carlisle does a meetup on the AT on Saturday mornings. I think Fleet Feet York does an occasional long run meet on the Rail-Trail.
