Who It Suits
This suits beginners, walkers, and people who want a free, community-oriented running habit without joining anything or hitting a pace requirement. It's not built for competitive racers chasing times, and it's not a trail club, so if technical terrain or race-pace training is what you're after, look elsewhere. It's also not set up for strollers or dogs.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Runs happen on roads and track, with distances that vary from short to long depending on the day. Pace is open, meaning runners and walkers are both part of the picture rather than walkers being an afterthought. Exact routes are pulled up through the RunGo app, so you're not guessing where the group is headed.

Your First Run
Register for the specific run online first and check the group run calendar so you know which of the weekday or Saturday sessions you're showing up to, since locations vary across Pittsburgh. Download the RunGo app ahead of time to see the route.
Because walkers are explicitly part of this club and pace is open to everyone, you won't be the odd one out for going slow or taking walk breaks. Coaches with RRCA/USATF certification are part of the runs, so there's someone experienced around if you have questions on your first time out.
