About This Club

FEAR MKE (Forget Everything And Run) meets in Milwaukee's Juneau Park and is built around runner safety and closing the fitness gap for people who don't see themselves reflected in typical running spaces, especially runners of color.

It's hosted by Social X MKE and is genuinely set up for anyone from couch-to-5K to more experienced runners. If you want a crew that treats a 1-mile jog and a 3-mile run as equally valid, this is that kind of club.

Who It Suits

This suits beginners, walkers, couch-to-5K runners, and anyone looking for a run space centered on runners of color and inclusive community building. It's not built for competitive racers or anyone training for long distances or speedwork, since the runs top out at 3 miles and the pace is deliberately open. If you're chasing PRs or marathon mileage, this isn't the group for that specific goal, though nothing stops you from running your own pace within it.

What a Run With Them Is Like

Distances run 1 to 3 miles on pavement, urban trails, and through parks, so it's short enough that walking or run/walk intervals don't feel like a compromise. Pace is at-your-own-speed, and the club is explicit about welcoming walkers and couch-to-5K runners alongside more experienced ones. Runs happen Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings, weekly, year-round.

Your First Run

Show up at Juneau Park (900 N. Prospect Ave.) at the Tuesday evening or Saturday morning meetup time and just run or walk at whatever pace you're at. If there's a participant form for a specific event, check Social X MKE beforehand so you're not filling it out on the spot.

The whole point of this crew is bridging the gap for people newer to running, so nobody's clocking whether you're at the front or back. Afterward, expect a social element, the group leans into community building, not just logging miles and leaving.
