Run With Shirley

Run With Shirley is a welcoming running and fitness community for people who want to get moving, build healthier habits, and work toward personal goals. Based around group workouts at White Rock Lake, the program supports runners of all experience levels, including beginners, people returning after a break or injury, and walkers. Its approach combines structured training with encouragement, friendship, and a no-judgment atmosphere.

Training options include phased programs for 5K and 10K distances, half-marathon preparation, and continued fitness development. Participants receive easy-to-follow plans and weekly schedules, along with post-workout drills, stretching guidance, and strengthening exercises. Saturday group runs include water and coffee, and members can also join Wednesday workouts. For more individualized support, monthly personal training provides race-focused schedules and weekly email check-ins, adapted to each participant’s abilities and goals. Run With Shirley also offers gift certificates and a newsletter. Whether someone hopes to complete a first race, regain consistency, or keep progressing, the program brings people together to train, celebrate milestones, and stay active.
