About This Club

Hot Girl Run Club Chi is a women-only group that meets multiple times a week on the 606 Trail in Chicago, founded in 2023. It's free, no membership required, and built around all paces and all bodies showing up, with a social, cheerleading energy rather than a training-focused one.

Highlights

  • Women-only
  • Friendship bracelets
  • Confidence-building vibe
  • Cheerleading support

Who It Suits

This suits women who want a female-only space and care more about the social, confidence-building side of running than about splits or structured training. If you're looking for competitive pace work or a solo training group, this isn't built for that, and it's not for men or those seeking a dog- or stroller-friendly run.

What a Run With Them Is Like

You're on the 606, a paved trail, so footing is straightforward and it's fine for walk breaks. Pace is all paces welcome, and walkers are explicitly part of the mix, not an afterthought. It's not a dog or stroller situation, so plan accordingly if that's part of your routine.

Your First Run

Check @hotgirlrunclubchi for the current schedule since they meet multiple times a week and post updates there. Show up to the 606 Trail meeting spot and expect a welcoming bracelet when you arrive, it's part of how they mark you as one of the group that day.

There's no cost and no membership to sort out first, so you can just turn up. If you're worried about pace, don't be, all paces and all levels are explicitly part of the setup here, not something you have to apologize for.
