About This Club
HTB Run Club meets every Wednesday at 6:30 PM at Highland Tap & Burger in LoHi, Denver, and it's free with no membership required. It's been running weekly since 2010, pulling a big group out for a mid-week run followed by dinner. It's a solid fit if you're a beginner, new to Denver, or just want a regular Wednesday run without any commitment attached.
Highlights
- Longest-running weekly perk in Denver

Who It Suits
This works well for beginners, people new to Denver, and anyone who wants a social mid-week run with free dinner afterward. It's not the right call if you need walk breaks, want to bring a dog or stroller, run trails, or train early mornings, and if you're racing at an elite level you'll want a more structured group.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Pace ranges wide, so the group isn't locked to one speed, and the route moves through Highlands/LoDo on road and urban terrain. Distance changes with the season: a 4-mile loop in winter, 5k or 10k once summer hits. Runs go year-round, rain or shine, so it's not a fair-weather group.

Your First Run
Get to Highland Tap & Burger, 2219 W 32nd Ave, before 6:30 for the pre-run announcements, that's when the route and any logistics get covered. Before your first run, sign the HTB Run Club waiver, which you'll find in the @mercuriarunning Instagram profile.
There's no membership or advance sign-up needed beyond that waiver. Wide pace ranges mean you won't be the only one running your speed, but walk breaks aren't part of the format here, so plan to run the full distance.
