How it works

Pick your path.

Everyone starts together with a short warm-up outside lululemon, then splits into a run group and a walk group. We all finish back where we started.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I have to be a runner?

Not at all. There is a dedicated walk group every time, and plenty of people run-walk. Every pace belongs.

Is there a pace requirement?

No. The Stride Collective is about movement and connection, not speed. Nobody gets left behind.

Where exactly do we meet?

Outside the lululemon store in Reston Town Center. Look for the group warming up on the plaza.

What should I bring?

Comfortable shoes, water, and yourself. Come a few minutes early if it is your first time so we can say hello.

Who runs the club?

The Stride Collective is hosted by Great Falls Physical Therapy, led by Dr. JJ Kfoury and Dr. Kelsey Krause, in partnership with lululemon Reston Town Center.

How do I find out about schedule changes?
