The Most Informal Running Club, Ever!

About The Most Informal Running Club, Ever!

A judgment-free, community-focused running club that combines running with socialising (brunches, beers, themed runs). Membership is free for life and all paces are welcome — from walkers and beginner runners to faster athletes. The club emphasizes inclusivity, casual vibes, and post-run hangouts; they also run occasional themed events, beginner series, and virtual challenges.

Good to Know

What to Expect

A friendly, informal atmosphere where all paces are welcome. Expect structured workouts on Monday (track intervals), a tempo-focused Thursday with a likely stop for drinks, and a social Saturday run that ends in brunch. New runners can simply show up (or RSVP via Meetup) and will find a welcoming, judgment-free group. There is no paid membership; bring money for transit/food/drinks. On Mondays there is an informal "pile of safety" for belongings at your own risk.

Leadership

Meetup lists event organizers led by "Ben M." plus about seven other organizers (can be contacted via Meetup); the website also provides suggestion/incident forms for contact.
