About This Club

7onSundays is a free, no-membership Sunday morning run club based in Bronzeville on Chicago's South Side. It was started by South Side natives and is built around Black and brown runners connecting through the neighborhood, so it suits people who want a regular local run more than a training program. If you live or work on the South Side and want a Sunday habit, this is worth showing up to.

Highlights

  • South Side focused
  • For Black and brown runners
  • Bronzeville-based
  • Inclusive community
  • Scenic routes

Who It Suits

This suits South Side locals, beginners, and runners who want a community built specifically for Black and brown runners in Bronzeville. It's not aimed at competitive racers chasing splits, and since it only meets Sundays, it won't work if you're looking for weekday runs. It's also not set up for strollers or dogs.

What a Run With Them Is Like

The route covers 7 miles on road, starting from 35th and King Drive. Pace is open, the record describes it as welcoming fast or slow runners, so there's no set target pace to hit. It runs weekly, every Sunday at 7 AM, on the same terrain and distance each time.

Your First Run

Show up to 35th and King Drive by 7 AM on Sunday, that's the whole check-in process, no sign-up or membership needed beforehand. The group is explicitly for all levels and no experience is required, so if you're worried about being slow, the pace is described as open to both fast and slow runners rather than built around a single speed.

Walkers are welcome too, so if you need to walk part of the 7 miles that's within how the group runs. Just lace up and join in when the group heads out.
