About This Club

It's free to join, there's no membership requirement, and everything from run locations to upcoming 5Ks and socials gets coordinated through a private Facebook group.

Who It Suits
This fits women looking for a supportive, social running scene in Seattle who want flexibility in pace and distance rather than a structured training plan. It's not built for competitive racing goals, and it's not for men. If you're looking to bring a dog or a stroller, this isn't set up for that either.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Social runs typically run 3 to 5 miles, though distance varies depending on the event. You'll find both road and trail terrain, and pace is genuinely open, the group states all abilities and paces are welcome and walkers are included. Because the meeting spot changes weekly, what the run looks like underfoot and around you will shift from week to week too.

Your First Run
Before you show up anywhere, join the private Facebook group, that's where meeting locations, times, and events actually get posted since they move around Seattle weekly. This is a self-identifying women-only space, so that's worth knowing going in.
Walkers are welcome and paces cover the full range, so there's no expectation you'll keep up with anyone, and there's no cost or sign-up fee to worry about before you go. After the run, don't be surprised if there's a group fitness class, brewery stop, or other social outing attached, that's part of how this group operates.
