How to find running partner?

| My current running partner is moving and I'm trying to find someone that might be interested in early morning runs on weekends. Any good places to safely find someone like this in Montgomery County? I'd like to avoid having to pay to join a training group as I am looking for something more informal. I'm a slow runner 10:30-11 pace on long runs) so I'm not looking for something elite or intense either. |

| You might want to try Meetup.com. I've looked for running partners when I've been training for stuff. There were a couple of groups that met near my house. I didn't end up doing it because I wanted something more formal for training purposes. |

OP, don't call yourself a slow runner. I am 10:30-11:00 for my conversation pace. Some people think I'm fast.
Does your neighborhood have a list serve that you could send a message on? That's how I met one of my running partners. |

| Black Girls Run. They have running groups all over the area. I don't believe they discriminate, so if you do not consider yourself "black", you can still run with them. |

| Do you have a Pacers or a Potomac Running Store near you? They often have running groups. Also seemommyrun.com or momsrunthistown.com |

Do you know of local chapters? When I do a search for 25 miles within DC, nothing comes up. Probably the search engine is just broken but it's been that way for at least a couple days now. |

Really? I just did a search for "25 miles within 20006" and got a lot of hits.
In MoCo, there is Bethesda/Chevy Chase, Olney, and Gaithersburg/Germantown. |

There's also Rockville/Silver Spring. We've got a nice little FB group going, too! |
