Muffins & Miles

Event Overview

Join 1st Place Sports and Altra for Muffins & Miles, a free monthly women's community series created to bring women together through movement, friendship, and fun.

Whether you're a seasoned runner, just getting started, enjoy walking with others, or simply looking for a welcoming community, Muffins & Miles is for you. Every event is designed to help you build confidence, meet new people, and celebrate an active lifestyle in a relaxed, encouraging environment.

Each month we'll gather at a different 1st Place Sports location for a community run/walk followed by coffee, muffins, and a unique post-run experience that focuses on wellness, creativity, recovery, or connection.

Throughout the series, we will have community spotlights on Instagram on local women in Jacksonville's running, walking, health, and fitness community as they share their personal stories, challenges, and what movement means to them.

Come once or join us every month. Bring a friend or come solo - you'll leave with new connections either way.
