About
Train Pegasus is more than a running group - it's a mindset and attitude dedicated to improving every day. Train Pegasus was started for Dallas running coach Fonz athletes to bring his runners together and encourage each other to be their best. Train Pegasus, since then has grown an amount of interest. Fonz vision was not just his athletes to be apart of the group, but also to bring the running community together and welcome everyone. We are better runners and better friends through our shared passion for running in the community.
We compete and spectate in several local races. We also travel as a group to races (Boston being our personal favorite 💙💛🦄). We train hard and recover harder. You can find us "recovering" at local coffee shops, our favorite breakfast spots, and happy hours.In Summary, we run because we love the journey and process of improving. And most importantly, we have fun running together. Come run with us and see for yourself!
