Common Questions About Forward Run Club
Do I need to be fast to run with Forward Run Club?
No. Forward Run Club is set up for new runners. On pace: relaxed, social run; all paces and experience levels are encouraged. If you are worried about holding the group up, that is the most common worry new members have, and it is usually the first thing to go away.
Is it awkward to show up to Forward Run Club on your own?
Most people turn up alone the first time, and a group run is one of the easier places to do that, because you are all moving in the same direction and nobody has to hold a conversation face to face. Afterwards: drinks and food at Woodward Avenue Brewers.
Do I need to sign up before my first run with Forward Run Club?
No membership is required, so you can turn up to a run and see how you get on before committing to anything. There is nothing to pay either. It is still worth checking their latest post before you go, in case a start time or meeting spot has moved.
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.
