Queers Run Brooklyn
Brooklyn, New York
Welcoming queer social run club emphasizing inclusivity and fun.
About This Club
Queers Run Brooklyn is a free, no-membership run club built specifically for LGBTQ+ identifying runners in Brooklyn. It's set up to be accessible to all paces and experience levels, so it suits someone who wants a queer-centered running community more than someone chasing a specific training plan.
Highlights
- Queer-focused
- All paces welcome
- Social events like picnics
- Inclusive community
- Post-run socials
- No experience needed
Who It Suits
This suits queer runners, beginners, and people who want a social run with coffee and pastries after, not just miles. It's not built for competitive racers looking to hit splits, and there's no trail terrain here, it's road and park only. If you're after a structured pace group or trail mileage, look elsewhere.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Routes run 3.5 miles on a mix of road and park terrain. Pace is open, walkers are welcome alongside runners, so nobody's speed is the point of the morning. The group meets three times a week at different times, Tuesday and Thursday from the Brooklyn Central Library steps, and Saturday at rotating spots around Brooklyn.
Your First Run
You don't need to sign up ahead of time, just show up. For Tuesday and Thursday runs, head to the Brooklyn Central Library steps at 7:30 a.m. or 7:00 p.m. Saturday's location moves around, so check their Instagram beforehand to know exactly where to be at 10:00 a.m. Come ready to cover 3.5 miles at whatever pace or walk-run mix works for you, since that range is built into how the club runs.
Something to train for

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.
