2 Run Clubs in Toulouse
From sunrise crews to beer miles, find your perfect running community
Buns & Runs
A "running food club" that pairs a short, easy group run with a social foodie stop at a partnering café or restaurant. Runs are relaxed (typically ~6–7 km at an easy pace), community-focused and aimed at combining light exercise with coffee/pastries or other snacks. Event details and registrations are published on the club's Instagram.
Creative Mornings Running
A creativity-focused, community running club that combines short, social runs with post-run coffee and creative activities (drawing, sketching, learning). Runs prioritize connection and fun over speed — inclusive to all levels. Fridays often include a short strength session after the run alongside the creative moments. Regular meetups are designed to move, create and connect.
