They provide physical therapy at the Athletic Training and Rehabilitation Institute (ATARI), part of the Piedmont Sports Medicine Complex. Getting injured is really a drag, and not being able to run is even worse. If you need help getting your game back, give them a call!
Robins Pacers Running Club: Our sister running club in Warner Robins. Membership in their running club is free, and you can sign up on-line.

Sometimes having a coach can make all the difference.

The streets are clearly labeled and it's easy to see possible options to expand your range. We all tend to get set in a certain routine, running the same route day after day. A change of scenery is a great way to keep things interesting. This would also be an excellent tool to check out running routes in new areas when you're traveling.
