About This Club
Remnant Run Club meets every Wednesday evening at Remnant Brewing inside Bow Market in Union Square, Somerville, with a post-run beer waiting for you at the end. They run two distance options each week, around 3 miles and around 5 miles, so you pick what works that day. The emphasis is on social running and conversation, not pace or performance.
Highlights
- Free weekly runs
- Brewery access
- Multiple pace options
- Social community
Who It Suits
This suits you if you want a low-pressure Wednesday evening run with a concrete social payoff at the end, whether you are brand new to running or just not interested in racing anyone. It is probably not the right fit if you are training seriously and need a structured workout, a specific coached pace, or a group that logs miles without stopping for a pint.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Every week they offer a 'spicy route' for people who want to push a bit and a 'party pace' option for everyone else, so you are not locked into one group regardless of how your legs feel that day. Both routes run on city streets and neighborhood sidewalks around Union Square. The group departs at 6:30 pm sharp, so arriving by 6:00 pm gives you time to sort out which route you want before the start.

Post-runGroup gathers back at Remnant Brewing for beer and food from Bow Market vendors after the run
Your First Run
Head to Remnant Brewing at 2 Bow Market Way and aim to get there by 6:00 pm, because that half-hour before the 6:30 pm departure is when you get your bearings and figure out which group you want to run with. Showing up alone is genuinely normal here, this is a weekly social run, not a training squad where everyone already knows each other.
If you are worried about pace, the party pace group is designed specifically so that running and talking at the same time is the whole point, not a side effect. After you finish, the group comes back to the brewery for beer and food from the Bow Market vendors, which is where most of the actual socializing happens.

Common Questions About Remnant Run Club
Does it cost anything to join or show up?
Nothing. The runs are free and there is no membership required. You just show up.
Do I have to run the full distance?
They offer both a roughly 3-mile and a roughly 5-mile option each week, so you can choose the shorter route from the start. They do not say you can bail mid-route, so if that matters to you, it is worth checking their social channels before you go.
What if I am much slower than everyone else?
The party pace group is explicitly built around conversation-speed running, not hitting a number. They describe the club as welcoming all abilities with a focus on social running over speed.
Do I need to sign up or register before my first run?
No registration or membership required. Show up at Remnant Brewing at 2 Bow Market Way by 6:00 pm on a Wednesday.
Do I have to drink beer after? I just want the run.
The post-run gathering at the brewery is where the group hangs out, but they do not say participation is required. Bow Market vendors are also there, so food is an option if beer is not your thing.
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.
