Pasadena Run Club
Pasadena, California
Pasadena Run Club is a free, community-oriented run club that meets Wednesday evenings at lululemon Pasadena with 2.5 mile walk and 3 and 5 mile run options. The club also hosts a monthly Sunday morning run from Neighbors and Friends Kitchen in South Pasadena.
About This Club
Pasadena Run Club meets Wednesday evenings at the lululemon on Colorado Blvd in Old Town, with a free, no-membership-required setup that makes it easy to just show up.
They offer a 2.5-mile walk option alongside 3-mile and 5-mile run routes, so there is genuinely something here whether you are just getting started or already logging regular miles. They also do a monthly Sunday morning run out of Neighbors and Friends Kitchen in South Pasadena if you want to mix up your week.
Who It Suits
This works well for beginners, walkers, and anyone who wants a structured outing without a training plan or a membership form. If you are chasing a specific pace goal or want coached workouts, this is a social club first and may not scratch that itch.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Wednesday nights kick off with a meet-and-mingle at 6:00 PM and the group takes off at 6:30 PM, so you have half an hour to settle in before anyone starts moving. You are on urban streets and sidewalks through Pasadena, and the multiple distance options mean you are not locked into one pace or one group for the whole run.
The monthly Sunday run follows the same format, gathering at 8:00 AM and heading out at 8:15 AM, though check with the club directly for the current distance on those mornings since it can vary.

Your First Run
Show up to 103 W Colorado Blvd, find the lululemon, and arrive by 6:00 PM so you have time to figure out which group fits you before anyone takes off.
You pick your distance that night, so if the 5-mile crowd looks too fast, you just slide over to the 3-mile group or even the walk. Nobody is timing you or waiting at the finish with a clipboard. Coming alone is genuinely fine here because the mingle window before the run exists exactly for that situation.

Common Questions About Pasadena Run Club
Does it cost anything to join or show up?
Nothing. It is free and you do not need a membership. You can walk in Wednesday night and run with them.
What if I can only do a walk, not a run?
There is a dedicated 2.5-mile walk option on Wednesday evenings, so walkers are not an afterthought here.
Do I need to sign up in advance or can I just show up?
No membership is required, so showing up is the whole process. Arrive by 6:00 PM on a Wednesday to give yourself the mingle window before the 6:30 PM start.
How do I know which pace group to join?
They run multiple pace groups, so when you arrive you can talk to people during the 6:00-6:30 PM window and figure out where you fit. You are not committing to anything before you even start moving.
When is the Sunday run, and where does it start?
It is once a month, starting from Neighbors and Friends Kitchen in South Pasadena. Meet at 8:00 AM, take off at 8:15 AM. Check their own page to confirm the next Sunday date before you make the drive.
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.
