I'm currently at a beginner to intermediate distance and time (about 11:00 / mile) but always increasing and challenging. Will always be a mixture of both short and long runs with the "Run/Walk" method of training used. Each person will be r …

Seasoned gym climber? New to the walls? Interested in giving it a try? Meet new people to climb with, get up some great routes, enjoy a total body workout and have a fun time. One of the best things about rock climbing (especially indoor climbing) is that a seasoned climber and a newbie can climb together and have a great time. Can't say the same thing about playing tennis with your co-worker who played in college or your BFF who plays on a weekend soccer team.

One of the best ways to network is to do it through shared activities. By being in a relaxed atmosphere you will get to know others and establish deeper relationships doing something you like, vs. a quick networking meeting at a hotel or restaurant. Besides the networking opportunites for business and work, you will also improve your health and fitness. Hikes will tend to be 4-6 miles during the weekdays before or after work with options for longer hikes for those wishing to do so. It sure beats …

Good food... good company... a glass of wine... and an afternoon of skiing.  It doesn't get any better than that! This Meetup group is for gals who'd like to get away mid-week, a couple of times each month. I call it "lunchtime skiing," and it's something that friends and I have done on and off for years.

This is a group for any adults interested in a fun pickup game of soccer. All skills levels are welcome. I started this group as there are no active meetup soccer groups in the Woodbridge area. I have only participated in soccer clinics in Fairfax so I am looking for someone who is experienced and would like to co-run the group with me. My goal is to have at least a game every weekend- weather pending- and if there is interest, a weekday game. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the field!

Let's bring together the adults around Northern Virginia, (from Winchester to Fairfax, from Leesburg to Culpeper, using Gainesville as the base center), that enjoy being active in all types of outdoor activity, and primarily SKIING. During the ski season, I hope we can get some folks out for some weekday day trips to Snowshoe or other mountains and perhaps a couple of trips going north to VT. If we grow in size, I hope we can look to trips west to CO, NV, UT... But, skiing is only roughly a 4 mo …
