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, staving off aggravations/injuries, 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 13.1 by the end of the season. Run Club includes speedwork, wildcard runs (trails, hills, stairs, epic views, etc), and adventure runs (think 'augmented' wildcard 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 Tues. night wildcard runs in GGP, Thurs. night speedwork at Kezar Stadium, Sat. morning adventure runs at various spots in SF, a twice weekly email newsletter supporting your training, a private Slack channel 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 $110-$140 per season (depending upon the length of the season. Each season runs 10-12 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. 

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 and mark the course thoroughly with chalk.

Adventure runs on Saturdays include chalk course markings as well.

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. It might not be a bad idea to print the written description out as well just to be safe.

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 100+ runners. We see a nice mix of Run Club ‘alumni’ and new faces each season. We host team socials on Tuesday nights, Thursday night happy hours, and other cool social events throughout 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!
