yeah i tried that but the information i found was pretty general. thanks though. anyone know from experience?
Where are you located? Have you tried talking to the local running stores?
Check out rrca.org (Road Runners' Club of America). It has pointers on starting a club.
thanks for the ideas. i've posted a few things on runningintheusa.com, active.com, and craigslist. i think i need to go the traditional route-- word of mouth.

You could start a facebook group for it.
great idea! if anyone would be interested in joining a running club in the hartford county area post here.
Where about in Hartford county do you live? I live in the southern end and would be up for joining a new club.
I live in Farmington. I'm trying to get the word out to see how much interest people have for meeting a couple times a week to run.
How about fat out of shape runners?
I am in Southington so that isn't very far at all.
I just moved to Manchester CT and would really like to get involved with a serious club in the Hartford area. My PBs are 1:10/2:36 and I normally run 90-120 mpw.
Did you have any luck in starting the club? I'm working on getting one going in Southington

Running is a great individual experience.
Be careful not to ruin it by joining a club.
