As more and more people ask for coaching help, clubs will react and begin to provide it. At all of the places above. Also, look in your local newspaper for information on local races and events. Most major newspapers carry such information, sometimes in the sports section, but often in special sections devoted to health, fitness or even entertainment. At the races, look around for runners wearing similar race singlets, such as the Houston Striders or the Buffalo Chips Running Club.
Most runners are friendly when approached and happy to add new members to their organizations.
