Meet Lisa Marie Shaugnessy 💛

When Lisa moved into Lakeside in 2024, she had no idea that Trailhead Running Supply was right below her apartment—or that it would become such a meaningful part of her life.

On her very first day, she noticed a sign for group runs and hikes. She met Jason from the shop and decided to show up for Rocky’s Road. That day, it was just the two of them. Instead of taking off, Jason stayed and hiked at her pace—making sure she felt welcome from the start.

Lisa came in as a hiker and former runner—but what she found was something more.

“The people keep me coming back.”
“They are my people.”

Since joining, she’s built real friendships, improved her mental well-being, and found consistency through things like Dirt Church—her Sunday morning lifeline.

FFP has always been about more than miles. It’s about community—showing up, supporting each other, and creating spaces where people feel like they belong.

“Community is key for living a vibrant, brain-healthy life… and Trailhead is now part of my DNA.”

If you’re thinking about joining a run club, take Lisa’s advice:
👉 Start with a walk (or hike)… and see where you want to go—and grow—from there.

This is how every run club starts.

A small gathering.
A morning coffee run. ☕
Or an evening run that ends with a b**r. 🍻

That’s what Funcie Run Club in Muncie, IN is building right now.

They’re showing up week after week—and that’s what matters most.

If you’ve ever been part of a run club, you know…
this is the stage where something real begins.

Let’s show them some love!!! ❤️ 👇

Most people think running clubs grow because of marketing.

Better posts. Bigger events. More promotion.

But across FFP Running Clubs, we’ve seen something very different.

The strongest communities don’t grow because of marketing…
They grow because of connection.

A few patterns we see again and again:

• It’s not about running — it’s about belonging
• Consistency matters more than creativity
• The first 10–15 members shape the culture
• Communities grow fastest when members take ownership

No shortcuts. No hacks.

Just people showing up for each other—week after week.

💬 We’d love to hear from you:
What makes a run club one you actually stick with?

🌟 We’re Bringing Back FFP Community Spotlight 🌟

Every FFP club has that person —
The one who shows up early.
Welcomes new runners.
Keeps the energy high.
And makes the community what it is.

👉 We want to celebrate them.

We’re officially reigniting our Community Spotlight on the FFP website — and we need your help to find the stories worth sharing.

In 2007, Houston was named the fattest city in America.

One year later, a Tuesday night run at an Irish pub changed everything.

This is the story of how FFP Running Clubs began—and why community still matters more than pace.
