About This Club
Oak Cliff Run Crew meets twice a week from 1406 N Zang Blvd in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas. It's a nonprofit, free to join, no membership required, and it draws a large group for both the Thursday night and Sunday morning runs. This suits someone who wants a regular, no-cost group to run with close to home, not a training program with strict pace groups.
Highlights
- Built their own crew
- Large turnout
- Nonprofit status
- Inclusive community
- Multiple distances
- Rain or shine
Who It Suits
This works for beginners, walkers, social runners, and people in or near Oak Cliff who want a free, weekly option without joining anything formal. It's not built for people chasing ultra-distance mileage, and the early Sunday start won't suit anyone looking for a weekday morning run instead. It's also not set up for strollers or dogs.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Thursday nights are short, 2 to 3 miles, starting at 7:00 PM. Sunday mornings are longer, with options from 5 up to 15 miles, starting at 7:00 AM. The terrain is road and urban, with hills, and one of the shorter routes has a hill worth knowing about ahead of time. All paces run together, and the group goes out rain or shine.

Your First Run
Show up at 1406 N Zang Blvd a few minutes before the start time, Thursday at 7:00 PM or Sunday at 7:00 AM, and that's really it. There's no sign-up, no fee, and no membership to sort out first.
Walkers and beginners are part of the mix, so being slower isn't going to leave you stranded, and with a large turnout you won't be the only new face. If you're on the short Thursday route, keep an eye out for the hill.

Common Questions About Oak Cliff Run Crew
Do I need to sign up before showing up?
No. There's no membership and no cost to join, you just show up at 1406 N Zang Blvd at the start time.
Can I bring my dog?
This isn't listed as a dog-friendly group, so it's best to leave your dog at home.
What if I want to walk part of it?
Walkers are welcome. All paces run together, so walking during the run isn't going to stand out.
Do they cancel if it's raining?
No, the group runs rain or shine on a regular weekly schedule.
Which run should I try first if I'm new to running?
Thursday's 2 to 3 mile route is the shorter option, though it has a notable hill. Sunday offers a range from 5 up to 15 miles if you want more distance later on.
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 April 2026.
