Runs typically cover three to five miles and last about an hour and a half, including a stop for a drink. We run in all weather conditions, usually ending at the same place that the run started. We welcome runners of all paces, as well as walkers. After the run, we gather at the bar for some singing, laughter, and, of course, more beer (or seltzer, or non-alcoholic options).

Our group continues to grow, which has allowed us to become diverse in experience and perspective. We have 5 group leaders who plan and lead trail runs and events, and engage with our group on social media. Most of our non-running engagement is on our Facebook page, which is a terrific place to ask questions about races, routes, gear, etc., find running partners, or plan run meetups.

For Women, By Women
The founders of West Chester Women's Multisport, LLC, Sam and Melissa, began participating in the sport of triathlon several years ago. We genuinely enjoy the camaraderie found through the pursuit of common physical fitness endeavors, especially triathlon training. And so it began, a couple of girls with a dream... to share this awesome sport with other women.
We will help motivate you to start taking further steps towards achieving your goals. What will be your next step? Run a mile, a 5k, a 10k or more? Learn to swim, swim better or gain confidence in open water? Try a spinning class or dust off that bike and hit the trail? Whatever your next steps are, it will be worth the time and effort it takes. No matter what your starting point or goals, weve got your back and will help you to achieve your personal best. We believe we are happier and healthier moms, wives, sisters, daughters and friends for taking the time to improve ourselves through physical activity and triathlon training. This, in turn, energizes us to better support our families and community at large.
WCWMS is here to support you on your journey.
