About This Club
Dog and Pony Show Run Club meets every Tuesday at 6 pm outside Dog and Pony Show Brewing on W Eleven Mile Road in Oak Park. It is a brewery run club, which tells you something about the vibe: the run is real, but so is the pint afterward. This one is built around casual social runners who want a weekly reason to get out the door and a comfortable place to land when they're done.
Who It Suits
This suits you if a relaxed Tuesday evening run followed by a beer is exactly what you want from a running group. If you need a structured training program, posted pace groups, or a tracked distance to hit a specific goal, this probably is not your match.

What a Run With Them Is Like
The group runs on roads around Oak Park. They have not published a set distance or pace range, so if that matters to you, reach out to them directly before you show up. What is clear is that the post-run hang at the brewery is part of the deal, not an afterthought.

Show up to Dog and Pony Show Brewing at 14661 W Eleven Mile Rd, Suite 200, Oak Park, MI 48237 by 6 pm on a Tuesday.
Walking in alone is normal here - this is a brewery run club, and most people who come through that door the first time do not know the regulars yet. Because pace and distance are not publicly posted, check their social pages before your first run so you know what you are signing up for.
Common Questions About Dog and Pony Show Run Club
Do I need to sign up or pay anything to join?
Nothing in what they have shared mentions a fee or registration. Show up on a Tuesday at 6 pm and go from there.
How far do they actually run?
They have not posted a set distance publicly. Check their social pages or contact Dog and Pony Show Brewing directly before your first Tuesday.
What pace does the group run at?
No pace range has been shared. Given the casual, social focus, it is unlikely to be a hammerfest, but confirm with them directly if pace matters to your decision.
Do I have to stick around for drinks after?
The post-run brewery hang is a big part of what this club is about, but nobody is going to stop you from heading home after the run if that is all you came for.
Do they run year-round, or do they take a break in winter?
They list themselves as a weekly Tuesday group, but their weather policy is not publicly stated. Worth a quick check on their social pages before heading out on a cold or rainy night.
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.
