Cool Run Club
Running club in Bordeaux. Bio highlights the "Tour des 2 ponts & more" and invites people to come run together. The club publishes an Instagram account (crc.bdx) and links to a Linktree which includes a WhatsApp group invite; there is no public schedule, distances, paces, meeting points, pricing, or contact email listed on the profile or Linktree. Join via the Instagram DM or the Linktree/WhatsApp link for up-to-date run details.
Food Runners Club - Bordeaux
A weekly social running group that combines a short city run with a tasting at a local food venue. Runs alternate between savory-themed weekday editions and sweet-themed weekend editions; each edition finishes at a different café, coffee shop, bakery or restaurant so participants discover a new address each time. The club is free to join but requires registration (link posted in the club's Instagram bio/stories); events fill quickly and often have waitlists. The concept emphasises conviviality, meeting new people and exploring Bordeaux’s food spots after a 6–8 km run along scenic routes such as the quais de la Garonne.
Run Holistique Club 🌿
Wellness-focused running group in Bordeaux, presented as the Bordeaux chapter of Golden Running Club. Emphasises pleasure, sharing and well-being; inclusive and open to all levels. Organised by the Instagram hosts @simplementam_ and @colin_elorn. Main communication is via Instagram and a private WhatsApp group (link shared on their profiles/site). Activities appear community-driven and sometimes target-specific (for example a half‑marathon course reconnaissance), but no regular public schedule or fees are published.
