About This Club

It's sponsored by Brooks and develops athletes from youth level up through Olympic development. This is a team built around structured, competitive training, not a casual jog with friends.

Who It Suits
This fits competitive runners, post-collegiate athletes, and track and field focused runners, including younger athletes working toward elite-level development. It's not a match for casual social runners, beginners looking for a low-pressure group, or anyone after a beer-first, run-second kind of night.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Workouts run Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, a Saturday session, and a Sunday group at 8am, spread across track, road, cross country and trail terrain depending on the day. Paces are competitive, and there's a workout pace guide to help you find the right effort group rather than guessing. Sunday runs carry more of a community feel than the weekday sessions.

Your First Run
Check the workout calendar on the club's website first, since what's on varies by day and by season. Most workouts require membership, but open workouts are available for non-members, so you can try a session before you commit or pay anything.
Sessions are based at Super Jock n Jill in the Seattle area, and joining the club's Strava is the easiest way to stay on top of schedule changes. Come with some racing or structured training background: this isn't set up as a walk-run or low-pressure entry point.

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.
