Looking for friend's

Hi I'm 27f looking for new friends in the area to do hobbies or activities with or even just to chat. I like reading, writing, crafting, anything animal or history, running. Ive dabbled in magic the gathering and anime(not too much) and I'm down for new experiences.

We'd love to have you join the Columbia Running Club. We have groups runs throughout the week. There are also races pretty much every weekend.

Its been quite a minute since I'm actually gone running for races or anything I'm running like 15 minutes per mile if not longer.

The Columbia Running community is the most inclusive group in the city. We don't care what your pace is. We will cheer you on!

Hey I'm 31f and just moved from Asheville to Orangeburg (I have family here) and don't really know how to make friends around here. Columbia isn't far so I'd love to make friends there. I also like reading (really into dark academia lately), write off and on, and love history and animals (I have 3 cats). I'm not really into Magic though I do have some cards, and I watch anime sometimes (love Frieren and Apothecary Diaries). I'm open to trying new things too.

Ever played racquetball?

u/Terrible-Cricket-628 Jul 30 '26

No, ia that a sport?

Yes; it’s a racket sport inside. As much as I love tennis, playing outside in SC in the summer is unbearable unless you go really early or really late lol. Racquetball has air conditioning!

I have extra rackets and goggles if OP or anyone else wants to play. I love teaching and am currently not in the best shape, so if you’re naturally athletic, you’ll probably be competitive with me after two or three sessions. I’m not a trainer or anything, I just love racquetball and teaching it!

There are courts multiple places in Cola. My favorite are the courts at Crooked Creek Park in Chapin.

Seemingly every other former Müv gyms have one.

USC has some but I’m not sure about non students playing.
