Running Group
Running group is a great way to meet other partners and stay in shape! We have runners and walkers at various paces and encourage anyone interested to come out and join us! This is a very informal group, you do not need to come everytime. The trail is hilly and challenging but stroller friendly so feel free to bring kids, dogs, or your student anytime! The schedule will change in October to adjust for daylight savings. After our Saturday run/walk, we all head to Shade Tree Coffee for some great coffee and conversation!
LOCATION
- We meet at the 0.0 mile marker on the Washington-Duke Trail (Al Buehler Trail)
DAYS AND TIMES
- Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:00pm
- Saturdays 9:00am
Parking is located in the gravel lot off of Cameron Blvd between Erwin and Science Drive. You can also park in the grass along Cameron or at Duke and walk down to the 0.0 mile marker where we meet. See the following link for more information!

Running group members will be informed on running related events in the community such as the Fuqua sponsored Turkey Trot in November! For more information on meetings and schedule changes, please check the Fuqua Partners Calendar and join the running group forum in the forums section!
Book Club
Book Club is a great way to share some good books, good conversation, and good coffee! We meet once a month to discuss a new book (selected the previous month). We read all types of books-- fiction, nonfiction, chick-lit, historical novels, and more! We meet at various coffee/dessert haunts around Durham. Book selections, meeting times and locations are always announced in advance through the website will always be on the Fuqua Partners calendar. Come every month, or come when you can!

Wine Club
Wine Club is for all partners interested in learning more about
wine and experiencing a variety of wine tasting events! Seasoned to beginner
wine-lovers are invited to our monthly events, which include trips to local
vineyards and wine shops, bars, and restaurants and themed wine tastings hosted
at partners’ homes. If you’re interested, please sign up to the Wine Club forum
to receive our announcements. Cheers! Contact: Karyn Ridder
Bible Study
The Fuqua Partners Bible Study is for those who want to join their
fellow sisters and brothers in Christ in study, or who are curious what
Christianity is all about. We meet twice a month to discuss what we've
learned from our book, and to catch up on our lives. Sign up for the Bible Study forum to see where we're at in our book, and where we're meeting. Join us for fun, fellowship and eternal friends! Contact: Charity Miner
Doggie Play Group
Have a dog? Come join us at Piney Wood Dog Park in Woodcroft! We meet on Sundays at 10:00am and stay and play until our pups are tired! The dog park has multiple fenced in areas for large and small dogs and is located just a few minutes from Duke. Your dog must have a dog park tag (this shows they are up to date on their immunizations). To get your tag you must register and pay $12. For more information see the link below!
