We are a friendly, supportive running group that meets in the South Tempe and Northwest Chandler area. This is not a "hookup" group, just a group of people wanting to increase their fitness and make friends along the way.

For all of you who started with us last summer and built up to half marathon distance, thank you so much for showing up and supporting each others training! I'd love to do the same thing again this year......The group is currently running a 3 mile route starting from Joe's coffee shop over at Higley/Ray. (There is also a 2.2 mile route option if you aren't up for 3 miles yet!) We will stay at this distance through August, and in September we will slowly start adding distance to our Saturday runs …

We are meeting 6:30 pm, Wednesday nights @ Mountain Pointe High School. The address is: 4201 East Knox Road Phoenix, AZ 85044 This is a group for all levels.

Steve completed 6 full ironmans and 3 half ironmans in 14 months. Al will be the "assistant to the coach". He once completed a half ironman without stretching during his entire training and skipped t …

The Greater Phoenix Orienteering Club is a group dedicated to the sport of orienteering. Orienteering is an event in which competitors use map and compass skills to navigate over terrain as quickly as possible in order to find a series of pre-placed "control" markers. Think of it as a poor man's adventure race or an adult Easter egg hunt. Our meets are open to everyone of all ages and skill levels. Come on out and have some fun running around the desert with us.

THIS IS A LADIES ONLY GROUP - I know (I know) some guys like chick flicks, but it's my belief that every now and then we all need to see a good chick flick with lady friends. This group is about that. We'll get together to see a movie, have dinner, lunch or drinks, or maybe even get a manicure or go to a play. A little self-indulgence never hurt anyone. Suggestions are always appreciated, and I am always looking for hosts. I want this group to be a time to relax, have fun, and meet new friends. …

This group will be focusing on understanding guns in the household. I want to have speakers come out and help our members considering purchasing a new gun, getting a permit, and carrying concealed. With crime up, and resources down. I want to make sure people are well aware of their surroundings. I also would like to help people find a business that will sell what we need at a good price. With this group growing I would like to be able to negotiate better prices. My first task is gaining some me …

If you are widowed or lost your partner and are looking for a grief support group for the widowed, run by the widowed, this is the place (we will use the term "widowed" to mean anyone who has lost their spouse or partner). This group is affiliated with Widowed Community Education & Support Services, Inc (WCESS, Inc.) and formed the first peer-to-peer support group for the widowed community in the Phoenix area. Our goal, over time, is to add more widowed-to-widowed support groups throughout the V …

I'm no different than the other owners of small dogs in the city. My 2 year old Welsch Corgi and I are known to be lazy on my days off of work and school, we've had the same walk route since day one and she occasionally visits her crate while I make quick runs to the store or gym. The few times we've gone to the dog parks, we've always had some terrible encounter with the "big dogs" and I've had to take my beloved Bella home after a short time of romping around! This group is for all the owners …

Each event should be a small adventure and a breath of fresh air for those stagnant fitness routines. We hope to build a group of long time followers, who can pass along, tribal knowledge of phoenix trails, their secrets, inhabitants, moods, and beauty.

I want to gather experienced traceurs to train throughout the Phoenix environment. We can create an amazing group if we put our hearts into it and we will all grow and learn from each other. I will look to you to teach anyone with a lower skill level then you, in order to promote mutual growth and learning throughout the group. And I invite any one who is experienced and interested to come and teach us, as well as learn from us, the art of parkour.

I created Phoenix Metaphysical Friends so we can get together and socialize with others in the area who are interested in metaphysics and want to learn about it in a fun, relaxed, social environment. We can meet for coffee and discuss metaphysics topics, do psychic readings and healings, go on nature hikes and commune with nature, visit spiritual places and vortexes, go on picnics, have potluck dinners, get together to meditate, play psychic games and exercises, participate in book discussions, …

After becoming a cannabis patient, shortly after Prop 203 passed, I learned the long held beliefs about cannabis causing brain damage is a costly lie to so many people suffering from debilitating diseases every day. In fact, I received a nearly fatal blow to the head over a year ago and suffered neurological brain damage from it. Cannabis, with meditation, has helped tremendously with the blackouts I was experiencing frequently where I haven’t had a blackout in months now. My (retired) doctor an …

This group was invented to have a fun group of stuff to do for people who live in or around the Ahwatukee area who are in their mid to late 20's and 30's.

I love to read! But somehow my busy life just gets in my way. This book club is my little gift to myself. Lets pick a great book and commit to reading it every month and then get together to discuss! There's only one rule in this book club: NO DOWNERS!! I read for fun, not to be bummed out ;) Because this group is brand new, I'm still working a few things out: 1. I'm trying to get the use of the barn for the monthly meetup 2. If it's not the barn, I'll host it at my house and hopefully eventuall …

We have great players, and we have very bad players. We have ex-pros athletes and rookies grandpas; steady ba …

Arizona Outdoors Activities Group is a non profit Meetup group that was founded by Kathleen Winans, and Marsha Bidwell in September 2010. One of the things we noticed with other outdoor groups was that it was run primarily by experienced outdoors men that seemed to miss the details when it came to showing single mothers, or beginner outdoors men, and women the basic skills necessary to be comfortable, and safe in an outdoor environment. After meeting each other at a camp-out involving cooking fo …

This photography group is for anyone who has an interest in photography and wants to get out and take pictures.  We are an active group that loves to go out and take pictures of almost anything.  Our emphasis is taking pictures, and then taking some more.  We do not have monthly meetings or photography critiques, although we do encourage our members to share their pictures of our adventures on the group album.  Our emphasis is focused on getting out of the house and working with your equipment t …

FYI, This is not a hiking group for beginners.  This is not a group where you come to learn how to hike.  This is a group for responsible adults and experienced hikers.  This is a group that does not have to hang around for every person to finish up a particular hike.  If you need help, please ask and you will receive.  I am a Group Organizer, not a commercialized paid Group Leader.  I will organize and inform to my best abilities.  This is for camaraderie and the sharing of some incredible hike …
