  • Road Runner Running Store 3002 West Cary Street Richmond, VA, 23221 United States (map)

Almost daily the media report stories of violent physical attacks on runners. Those who fight back are more likely to get away, yet without some form of training, it’s hard to know what to do. Join self-defense instructors Julie Morrill and Joe Grassia for a workshop on personal safety where you will learn how to fight back. The training will include safety tips, scenario discussions, and some empowering self-defense techniques. Bring your sense of humor and sense of adventure.
