About This Club
Eureka Run Club is a free, volunteer-led nonprofit group (RRCA affiliated) running out of Eureka, Missouri, with a second Saturday meetup at Laumeier Sculpture Park. There's no membership requirement and no cost, so you can just show up. It's built around walkers and all paces being in the same group, not split off to a slower track.

Who It Suits
This suits beginners, walkers, and people who want a no-cost, no-pressure way to run regularly with others in the Eureka/west St. Louis area. It's not built for elite racers chasing pace goals or trail runners looking for technical terrain, since the routes are road and paved. It's also not set up for strollers or dogs.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Runs are on road and paved surfaces, with distances that vary but generally fall in the 3-6 mile range. Pace is open, walkers included, so there isn't a single target speed you need to hit. Thursday evenings meet in Downtown Eureka at the Central Avenue lot, and Saturday mornings shift to Laumeier Sculpture Park.

Your First Run
Show up at the Central Avenue lot across from Circle K for the Thursday 5:30 PM run, or Laumeier Sculpture Park for the Saturday 9 AM one. You don't need to register or pay anything first.
Because the group is explicitly all-paces and walker-friendly, there isn't a fast pack you'll be scrambling to keep up with, walking is a normal part of the run, not an exception. If you have questions before you go, you can email eurekarunclub@gmail.com ahead of time.

Common Questions About Eureka Run Club
Do I need to sign up or pay before showing up?
No. It's free and there's no membership required, you can just show up at the meeting spot on Thursday or Saturday.
Can I bring my dog or a stroller?
No, the club record notes it isn't dog-friendly or stroller-friendly.
What if I need to walk during the run?
That's built into how the group runs, walkers are explicitly welcome and it's all-paces, not just a nod to it.
Where exactly do the two weekly runs meet?
Thursdays at 5:30 PM it's the Central Avenue lot across from Circle K in Downtown Eureka. Saturdays at 9 AM it's Laumeier Sculpture Park.
Is this a trail running group?
No, the terrain is road and paved, so it's not geared toward trail specialists.
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.
