About This Club
PSL Running Group is the free running club under Pittsburgh Sports League, meeting Thursday nights at rotating Pittsburgh bars, this week at Caliente in Bloomfield. It suits people who want a low-stakes weekly run with no membership, no sign-up, and a drink or a bite afterward if you want it.
Highlights
- Rotating bar/pub starts
- Part of sports league
- Self-navigated maps
- Free to join
- No registration
- Post-run socializing
Who It Suits
This works for beginners, walkers, and people who want a casual social run with a bar attached, not a training group chasing splits. If you want trail miles or a competitive pace group pushing you, this record doesn't point that way. It's also not set up for strollers or dogs.

What a Run With Them Is Like
You pick from routes of 3, 4, or 6 miles, all on street and pavement, and you navigate with your own printed map rather than following a set pack. Pace is open, all paces are accommodated, so this isn't a group that holds together at one speed. Since the start point moves bar to bar each week, the route itself changes too.

Post-runOptional food & drink at host restaurant
Your First Run
Check the PSL site for that week's bar before you go, since it rotates and this week it's Caliente at 4624 Liberty Ave in Bloomfield. Get there by 6:30pm for the start, and grab a printed map for whichever distance you want, 3, 4, or 6 miles.
Because it's self-navigated and all paces are welcome, there's no pack to keep up with and no one timing you, walk breaks are fine. Afterward you can stick around the host restaurant for food and drinks if you're up for it, or head out.

How do I know where to meet each week?
The location rotates between Pittsburgh bars and pubs, so check the PSL site for the current week's spot. This week it's Caliente in Bloomfield.
Can I bring my dog or a stroller?
This isn't set up for either, per the club's own listing.
Is there a group leader guiding the route?

Does it run in winter or bad weather?
It's listed as a year-round club, with locations varying weekly.
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.
