Common Questions About Old Town Run Club
Do I need to be fast to run with Old Town Run Club?
No. Old Town Run Club is set up for new runners and walking is fine and nobody gets left behind. 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 Old Town 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: runs end at local venues including Murphy's Grand Irish Pub, Daniel O'Connell's Irish Restaurant and Bar, The Commodore, and The Pier Bar for food, drinks, and sometimes live music.
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.
