Before you go

How to pick a run club

Pace is the thing to check first. Most groups publish a range in minutes per kilometre or per mile, and the ones that do not usually split into two or three pace packs on the night. A group that lists no pace at all is more often a race team than a social run.

Distance matters less than you would think. Weekday runs are commonly 5 to 8 km and end at a cafe or a brewery, which is the part most people actually turn up for. Long runs on the weekend are where the distance goes up.

Almost all of these are free and drop-in. The exceptions are clubs attached to a race team or a coaching program, which charge a season fee, and the group’s own page will say so.

Questions

Finding run clubs in your city

Which cities does this cover?

49 run clubs across Seattle, Vancouver, Toronto, Guelph, London and Atlanta. Each city links through to its own page, and every group links out to wherever it already organises.

Are run clubs free?

Most are. Weekday social runs organised by a shop, a brewery or a neighbourhood crew are almost always free and drop-in. Clubs attached to a race team or a coaching program charge a season or membership fee, which their own page states.

Do I need to be fast to join a run club?

No. Most groups publish a pace range and split into packs so nobody runs alone, and many list a beginner or walk-run group. Check the pace on the group’s own page before your first night.

What is the difference between a run club and a running group?

Nothing consistent. People search both, and clubs use the terms interchangeably along with run crew and running collective. This page lists all of them.

Do I need the Culdesac app to join?

No. This page is free to browse and every group links out to its own signup. The app matters once a group runs its own chat and calendar on Culdesac.
