Fat Boys Run Club
San Francisco, California
Fat Boys Run Club is a gender-inclusive social run club in San Francisco with weekly meetups Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings around Golden Gate Park, Haight & Stanyan, Presidio, and Kezar Stadium. The club welcomes all paces and distances, from 2-mile walks to 7-10 mile runs, with a casual, social atmosphere and post-run hangouts.
About This Club
Fat Boys Run Club is a gender-inclusive social run club based in San Francisco that meets weekly around Haight-Ashbury, Golden Gate Park, the Presidio, and Kezar Stadium. They run Tuesdays at 6 PM and Saturdays at 9 AM, with Sunday runs as well. If you want a run that actually turns into a hangout afterward, this is built for that.
Who It Suits
This works well if you are new to group running, unsure about your pace, or just want something social alongside the miles. If you are chasing a specific race goal and need structured workouts or coached speed sessions, this is not that kind of club.

What a Run With Them Is Like
On Tuesdays, there are three clear options: a 6-mile run at a sub-9-minute-per-mile pace, a 4-mile group that runs at whatever pace works, and a 2-mile walk. Saturdays and Sundays lean longer, with distances stretching from 6 miles up to 7-10 miles across city streets, park paths, and track. The vibe they describe is casual and social, not a training session.

Your First Run
Show up at Haight and Stanyan for Tuesday evenings or check which location is active for the weekend runs before you go. Tuesday is probably your easiest entry point because the three-group split means you are not trying to keep up with a pack that is moving faster than you want to go.
You can walk 2 miles and still be part of it. Showing up alone is normal for a club like this, and the post-run hangout is specifically where people actually meet each other.

Common Questions About Fat Boys Run Club
Do I have to pay or sign up before I come?
No, it is free and there is no sign-up required.
What if I am too slow for the group?
On Tuesdays there is a group for all paces and a 2-mile walk option, so there is genuinely no pace you can be at that does not fit somewhere.
How far will I actually have to run?
On Tuesdays, as little as 2 miles if you take the walk. Weekend runs go from 6 miles up to 7-10 miles, so check in with them directly before a Saturday or Sunday if distance matters to your planning.
What happens after the run?
They describe the post-run as a party-like hangout, not just a quick goodbye in the parking lot. They also do occasional beer mile events and club parties.
Where exactly do I go when I show up?
Tuesday meetups are at the corner of Haight and Stanyan. Weekend runs rotate between Golden Gate Park, the Presidio, and Kezar Stadium, so confirm the specific spot on their social channels before heading out.
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.
