About This Club

This is a weekly social run based out of City Park in Denver, meeting every Wednesday evening at the Museum of Nature & Science. It's built around three route lengths so people of different fitness levels can show up to the same start line and each run something that fits them. With no membership needed and no cost to join, it's set up to be an easy one to just try.

Highlights

  • City Park routes
  • Run and fun focus
  • Consistent Wednesday timing
  • Multiple route options
  • Socializing
  • Free to join

Who It Suits

This suits beginners, walkers, and people who want a consistent, low-barrier Wednesday habit in City Park, the free entry and multiple distances are built for exactly that. It's not the group for advanced racers chasing specific paces or times, since there are none set, and trail runners won't find what they're looking for on pavement and roads. It's also not a fit if you need to bring a dog or a stroller.

What a Run With Them Is Like

Routes come in 2.5, 3.5, or 5 miles, all on pavement and roads through City Park, so you pick your distance before you start and there's no set pace to keep up with. The record describes it as self-select, meaning people run at their own ability rather than staying together as one pack. Walkers are welcome, so a walk-run mix or a full walk is on the table, not just an exception.

Distance2.5 miles, 3.5 miles, 5 miles

Post-runOptional bite to eat and socialize after run

Your First Run

Head to the NW corner of the museum parking lot near the E. 22nd Ave entrance, that's where the group gathers, and look for an arch set up like a race starting line, it's the visual marker for where to go. Once there, you choose whichever of the three distances suits you that day.

Because routes are self-select and walkers are explicitly welcome, there's no version of this where you're the slowest person holding up a pack, everyone is already running their own distance at their own effort. Afterward there's an optional bite to eat and a chance to socialize, but you can skip that part and head home if you'd rather.
