About Perry
Run Group
How It Started
March 2022
Perry Run Group began in March 2022, founded by Kim and Nick Valentine as a simple way to bring people together to move, connect, and enjoy running around Perry. What started as a way to meet fellow runners quickly turned into a community — one that welcomes runners of all paces, backgrounds, and goals.
Moving Forward
December 2024
In December 2024, as Nick transitioned to a new military assignment in a different state, Quade Esser, a longtime member, stepped in to keep the community moving forward. Since then, the group has kept growing, with new routes, fun events, and the same welcoming spirit that started it all.
More Than
Just Miles
Today, Perry Run Group is about more than just miles. It's about showing up — for yourself and for each other. Whether you're training for your next marathon or just looking to get moving, you'll find support and maybe even a new friend along the way.
Everyone is welcome. Every pace counts.
Come run with us.
