There’s nothing wrong with taking advantage of the innumerable ‘free’ runs offered around the city.

But, if you’re serious about learning about running, learning how to incorporate running into your life in a sustainable way, and/or getting faster, Run Club is definitely worth a look.

Each season of Run Club is a 10-12 week 'program' that is designed to take you from two miles to (at least) 13.1 by the end of the season. Run Club includes speedwork, wildcard runs, trail runs and long runs.

Our team has DECADES of experience in the sport. You name it, we’ve done it. From 5K’s to 50 milers, we’ve done it. Additionally, all of your coaches have professional certification. USATF. RRCA. So, we can likely address whatever running related questions/concerns you may have!

We engage some of the best specialists in the SF/Bay Area to support Run Club in educating our runners on topics such as mental preparation, nutrition and hydration, injury prevention, biomechanics/form, and much more.

Additionally, each season of Run Clun includes a veritable laundry list of perks/amenities that adds up to about $50 (if not more).

We also have a great time! Each season of Run Club includes bar nights, team dinners, and other cool opportunities to connect with your teammates. So, if you’re new to the city or just looking to meet new people, Run Club can help.

Run Club includes Thurs. night speedwork OR wildcard runs at Kezar Stadium, Sat. morning long runs at various spots in SF, a twice weekly email newsletter supporting your training, a private Facebook group for connecting with your coaches/teammates, a limited edition Run Club lifestyle shirt, a $20 shopping credit at A Runner’s Mind, social events, partner discounts, and much more!

Participation is $100-$130 per season (depending upon the length of the season. Each season runs 8-12 weeks).

Each week, the email newsletters contain map links as well as a written descriptions of all runs. We always encourage our runners to review the aforementioned before every run. It might not be a bad idea to print the written description out as well just to be safe.

In addition to sending course maps and course descriptions, Run Club coaches always provide a description of the run prior to the start of each run.

Long runs on Saturdays typically include course markings as well.

Lastly, we try to keep our run courses out/back in order to minimize the chances of anyone getting lost.

All this being said, if you’re navigationally challenged, we’d encourage you to not listen to music while you run or at least keep the volume down and your eyes peeled when you’re out.

The Run Club team also makes a point of making sure that ALL runners are back before wrapping up any/all workouts.

ABSOLUTELY! Each season of Run Club typically sees 75-100 runners. We see a nice mix of Run Club ‘alumni’ and new faces each season. We host team dinners on Tuesday nights, periodic team bar nights, and other cool social events through the season.

We’ve been witness to countless friendships, romances, and just about everything in between. You could consider Run Club a social club with a running problem!
