View F3 Nation – Local in a full screen map
We meet throughout the St. Louis metro area, so there’s certain to be an AO (area of operation) near you. (If you don’t see it on our site, hit up our national site to search, or just contact us to get hooked up.) Each AO gets a creative name by the PAX — you’ll get to know those names well! As F3 STL continues to grow, we will continue to launch additional AOs, and if you do not see a location near you, help us start one!
If you come here, that makes you “bearly” a runner. ‘Cause you’re on the Wash U campus … and they’re the Bears … and you’ll be running. Get it? Anyway, show up for a great cardio session with men who will push you to be better.

- Wednesdays – 5:30-6:15 a.m. (run)
