About This Club
Baptist Health Gables Run Club meets every Wednesday at 7 PM at Life Time in Coral Gables for a free, 3.5-mile social run through the neighborhood streets. It's built for people who want to run and talk, not chase splits, and it's open to all levels with no membership required. Part of the Baptist Health network, it occasionally brings in guest activations alongside the regular run.

Who It Suits
This suits social runners, beginners, and anyone who wants a regular Wednesday night run without racing pressure or a paces-and-splits culture. It's not set up for elite racers looking for structured training, and since the routes are pavement and streets, it won't scratch a trail-running itch. Note it's also not stroller or dog friendly, so plan accordingly.

What a Run With Them Is Like
You're covering 3.5 miles on pavement through Coral Gables streets, running at your own pace within the group rather than at a set target pace. There's a warm-up before you head out and water provided along the way. Afterward the group stretches and hangs out together before heading home.

Your First Run
Show up at Life Time Coral Gables (237 S Dixie Hwy) before 7 PM so you have time to sign the waiver and join the intro and warm-up. Walkers are welcome and the club is set up for beginners, so you won't be the only one figuring things out.
Since it's group running at your own pace, there's no pressure to keep up with anyone, and people tend to tag their runs #werunmiami if you want to see who else shows up. Just bring yourself, there's no cost and no sign-up required in advance.
