Who It Suits
This suits early risers, beginners, and people who want a social, low-pressure reason to get moving before work. It's not going to work for late morning runners or anyone chasing a competitive pace group, and it's not set up for strollers or dogs.

What a Run With Them Is Like
There's no set distance and no specified pace, so the run is shaped by whoever shows up that day. Terrain is road and urban, flat city streets around Capitol Park. Wednesdays start at 10th & N Street/Capitol Park and Fridays start at Marie's Donuts, both early, at 5:30am or 6:00am.

Your First Run
Just show up at 5:30am on a Wednesday or Friday. Because the exact spot can shift week to week, check the club's Instagram (@9run6) before you go so you land in the right place, and Facebook.com/9run6 has updates too.
All paces are welcome and walkers are fine, so you won't be the slowest person there by default, that fear doesn't really apply here. If you go on a Friday, stick around after, there are sweet treats at Marie's Donuts.

Common Questions About 9RUN6
Is there a cost to join or run with them?
No, it's free and there's no membership required.
How far do we actually run?
There's no set distance. Pace and distance aren't fixed, it's an all-paces, show-up-and-run setup.
Can I bring my dog or a running stroller?
No, the club isn't set up as stroller-friendly or dog-friendly.
I'm not a morning person, is there a later option?
Not with this club. Both weekly runs are early, 5:30am or 6:00am, so it's really built around early risers.
What happens after the run?
On Fridays the group heads to Marie's Donuts for sweet treats afterward, which is part of the club's regular routine.
Where this comes from: Club details come from each club’s own channels (their site, Meetup, Strava and social posts) and are checked by hand. Group runs move, so confirm the meeting spot on the club’s latest post before you head out. Last updated April 2026.
