About This Club

This is the free weekly run club out of the Runners Roost store in Central Park, Denver, one of several Runners Roost locations that host their own groups. It's built around the shop itself, so you'll see gear demos and store discounts alongside the running, and it's aimed at beginners and social runners who want a regular, no-cost habit rather than a training squad.

Who It Suits

This suits beginners, social runners, and anyone who likes the idea of a run club tied to a gear shop, with store discounts and demo nights as part of the draw. It's not set up for elite racers chasing serious training paces, and if you're specifically after trail-only running or need it to be dog- or stroller-friendly, this one isn't built for that.

Your First Run

Head to the Runners Roost store at 7305 E. 35th Ave. and arrive a bit early, since routes and pace groups get sorted out before the run starts. It's worth checking the store's page or the Central Park Facebook group ahead of time for that week's specifics, since details can vary.

Walkers are welcome and there's no signup or fee involved, so you can just show up. With multiple pace and route options built in, being slower isn't a reason to hang back.
