We run short. We run long. We are veterans. We are beginners. We run solo. We run with buddies.
We tell our story, one stride at a time, sharing smiles, support and encouragement, hugs, laughter, tears, goals, fitness and nutrition tips, races, running gadgets and apps, apparel, questions and concerns, accomplishments and failures.
We are never alone. We never give up. We Run.
We are runners who help others by giving to those in need.

For Women, By Women
The founders of West Chester Women's Multisport, LLC, Sam and Melissa, began participating in the sport of triathlon several years ago. We genuinely enjoy the camaraderie found through the pursuit of common physical fitness endeavors, especially triathlon training. And so it began, a couple of girls with a dream... to share this awesome sport with other women.
We will help motivate you to start taking further steps towards achieving your goals. What will be your next step? Run a mile, a 5k, a 10k or more? Learn to swim, swim better or gain confidence in open water? Try a spinning class or dust off that bike and hit the trail? Whatever your next steps are, it will be worth the time and effort it takes. No matter what your starting point or goals, weve got your back and will help you to achieve your personal best. We believe we are happier and healthier moms, wives, sisters, daughters and friends for taking the time to improve ourselves through physical activity and triathlon training. This, in turn, energizes us to better support our families and community at large.
WCWMS is here to support you on your journey.
