Boston, Massachusetts
Boston Fun Run organizes weekly Wednesday evening Run & Chug events that start and finish at rotating bars throughout Boston and Cambridge. Members run together and reconvene at the bar for post-run drinks and socializing.
Next group run
Boston Fun Run is a weekly Wednesday night run-and-bar-social that rotates around Boston and Cambridge neighborhoods. The run starts and ends at a bar, and the post-run drinks are genuinely part of the plan, not an afterthought. If you want to explore the city on foot and then actually hang out with people after, this is structured around exactly that.
This suits runners who want the social side of running to actually be social - conversation, a post-run drink, and seeing different parts of the city rather than just logging miles. It works across all running levels because the pace groups self-select. If you want a structured training program, track workouts, or coached sessions, this is not set up for that.

They meet at 7:00 p.m. at whichever bar is hosting that week - so the location changes, which means you get a different slice of the city each time.
The group splits into smaller pace groups, so you are running with people moving at roughly your speed rather than trying to keep up with a pack out ahead of you. The distance varies by event, so check in with them before showing up if mileage matters to your Wednesday training plan.
Find out which bar is the meet-up spot for that week - that is your starting point at 7:00 p.m. You do not need to be a member or sign up in advance.
They say you can just run, just show up for the social, or do both, which takes a lot of pressure off a first visit. Because the group splits by pace, you will not be the one person dragging at the back of a single fast pack.
Something to train for
16 upcoming races in Boston. Having one on the calendar is the easiest way to turn a few group runs into a habit.
They say you can just run, just socialize, or both - so attending without drinking is explicitly fine by their own terms.
Yes. They maintain their Wednesday night schedule year-round through snow and bad weather, and only call it off in what they describe as really poor conditions.
The bar rotates each week, so you need to check their current listings before heading out - showing up at last week's spot will not work.
No membership is required to show up and run with them.
The distance changes by event. Check with them directly before the run if you are planning around a specific mileage.
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 July 2026.
