The First Mile – Your Free Intro to Running Program

"Starting is the hardest part—but you don't have to start alone."

Have you ever wanted to get into running, but the idea feels overwhelming? Where do you begin? What if you’re too slow? What if everyone else is already fit?

We know how you feel – and you’re not alone.

"Every runner was once exactly where you are right now."

Let's Start Together
The Exchange Running Collective, in partnership with ASICS, has created The First Mile, a free community-based intro to running program. This isn't about being fast or perfect—it's about showing up, finding your pace, and discovering that running is for everyone.

"We don't run to be better than others—we run to be better than yesterday."

When: Mondays at 6:00PM
Where: The Exchange Running Collective, 966 Woodland St, Nashville, TN
Parking: Free parking validation for up to 1.5 hours in our lot off 10th.

"The best version of you starts with one brave step forward."

Take The First Step With Us
Don't wait for the "perfect time" to start. Bring a friend if you'd like and show up Thursday. Your running journey—and your community—are waiting.
