Is there a capability to find people in your area to exercise with etc? Not sure the protocol or if there are any groups for certain areas within this community?

    Strava and look at local clubs.

    Ask at your local running store. Strava and Facebook are good places as well.

    MFP isn't the easiest to find a person to work out in (insert neighborhood here) of X city.

    The best resources for local running groups are local running stores. If you ride a bike, check out local bike shops. Most of those type shops host their own group runs/rides.

    Local races will often have training events listed on their webpage or social media ... you don't have to do a race to benefit from linking up with other likeminded individuals during the leadup.

    If searching on places like Facebook you can find everything from couch to 5k groups all the way up to ultra marathon groups ... virtual using various platforms to local and in person.
