Orlando Social Run Club
Orlando, Florida
Ultimate midweek social run with drinks and community fun
About This Club
Orlando Social Run Club meets Thursday evenings in Ivanhoe, starting from City Food Hall in The Yard at Ivanhoe, with a run followed by happy hour. It's free to show up, no membership required, which makes it an easy weekly habit rather than a commitment. This suits people who want a reason to get moving midweek and then sit down with food and a drink afterward, not people chasing a training plan.
Highlights
- Formerly Tap It & Run Club
- Themed runs like singles night
- Yoga collabs
- Dog-friendly
- Happy hour discounts
- Coach-led warmup
- Raffles at some events
Who It Suits
This fits social runners, beginners, walkers, and anyone who wants casual fitness with a happy hour attached at the end. It's not built for competitive racers or anyone training for long distances, and since it runs Thursday evenings, it's not going to work for someone who only runs early mornings.

What a Run With Them Is Like
A coach leads a warmup before the group heads out for a 5K or a custom distance on urban trails, streets, and pavement around Ivanhoe. Pace covers everyone: running, walking, or a run-walk mix, so nobody is locked into one speed. Dogs are welcome on the run. Afterward the group heads back for happy hour with food and drink specials.

Your First Run
Head to City Food Hall in The Yard at Ivanhoe at 1412 Alden Rd, and it's worth checking Meetup beforehand since the exact meeting spot can shift. Get there a bit early to mingle before the warmup starts, since that's built into how the group operates.
You don't need to register or pay anything to join in, just show up. If you're worried about being slow, this isn't the group where that's an issue: walking and run-walk are explicitly part of how people move through the 5K.

No. It's free and there's no membership required, just show up on Thursday.
Can I bring my dog?

What if I want to walk instead of run?
That's fine. The group runs at all paces, including walking and run-walk, so you're not out of place.

What happens after the run?

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.
