About This Club
St. Louis Running Club is a free, no-membership social run that meets year-round on Tuesday mornings at Creve Coeur Lake Park. It's built for runners who can hold a steady upper 7s to 10 min/mile pace and want a reliable weekly date on the calendar, not a training program or a race-prep group.
Highlights
- Early morning runs
- West County focus
- Variable weekday/weekend locations
- No fee
- All paces welcome
- Year-round consistency
Who It Suits
This suits intermediate, social runners who want a consistent group to run with week after week at a real pace. It's not the right fit if you need walk breaks or run slower than about a 10 min/mile, and it won't work for trail runners or anyone chasing ultra distances, since this is flat paved lake paths at 5-6 miles.

Your First Run
Park at Creve Coeur Lake and head to the meeting area on West Drive. Get there early since the run starts promptly and covers the full 5-6 miles from the gun.
