Riverside Craft Runners is a social run club in Riverside, California that centers runs around breweries. The club meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:45 pm at a rotating location.
About This Club
Riverside Craft Runners is a social run club built around Riverside's brewery scene - you run 3 miles, then you drink beer. They meet twice a month, on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday at 6:45 pm, at a rotating brewery or taproom location around Riverside.
Who It Suits
This suits casual runners who want a social reason to run midweek and genuinely enjoy the brewery scene. If you are training hard and need longer or faster midweek miles, 3 miles at a social pace probably does not scratch that itch.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Every run is 3 miles, which keeps things approachable on a Wednesday evening after work. The location rotates, so the terrain and neighborhood will vary run to run. After the 3 miles, the group stays for beer at whatever spot they've landed at that night.

Your First Run
Before you leave home, check their Instagram - the meeting spot rotates and that is where they post the current location. Show up at 6:45 pm and look for the group gathering outside. The 3-mile distance is short enough that pace is unlikely to be a real issue, and the post-run beer gives everyone an easy, low-pressure reason to hang around and talk.
