WERUN313
Detroit, Michigan
WERUN313 is a Detroit-based community running club offering free weekly group runs across multiple distances and abilities. The club hosts Two Mile Tuesday at Breadless, 5K/10K Thursday at Robert C. Valade Park, and Sunday long runs at various announced locations.
About This Club
WERUN313 is a free, no-membership community running club covering Detroit three days a week, with different distances on each day so you can pick what fits your training.
Tuesday is a two-miler at Breadless on Larned, Thursday is a 5K or 10K at Valade Park on the riverfront, and Sunday long runs move around the city. If you want to actually see Detroit on foot and run with people who live here, this is built for that.
Who It Suits
This club works well if you're a beginner or returning runner who wants a low-stakes entry, or a higher-mileage runner who needs long-run company on Sundays. The Sunday distances top out at 18 miles, so those runs are not aimed at complete beginners. If you're only interested in racing performance groups or coached training, this is a social community club, not a structured training program.

What a Run With Them Is Like
The ground is city streets, urban park paths, and riverfront, so expect pavement and flat to gently rolling terrain throughout. Tuesday's two-miler is explicitly open to all ages and paces, walkers included. Thursday gives you a choice between 5K and 10K distance. Sunday long runs range from 10 to 18 miles, so those are for runners who already have some mileage in their legs.

Your First Run
For your first time, Tuesday at Breadless (2760 Larned St) at 6:00 PM is the easiest entry point: it's two miles, all paces are genuinely welcome, and there's no sign-up or fee, just show up. Thursday at Robert C.
Valade Park (2670 Atwater St) starts at 6:30 PM if that day works better. You don't need to know anyone, register, or pay anything to be there. If you want to do a Sunday long run, check their newsletter first because the location changes each week.

Common Questions About WERUN313
Does it cost anything to run with WERUN313?
No, runs are free and no membership is required. Just show up.
What if I'm a walker or need to take walk breaks?
Walkers are welcome, and Two Mile Tuesday is specifically described as open to all paces and ages, so walk breaks are not a problem there.
Where exactly do Sunday runs start?
The location changes each week and is announced through their newsletter, so sign up for that before planning a Sunday run or you won't know where to go.
Can I just do the shorter run on Thursday if I'm not ready for 10K?
Yes, Thursday at Valade Park offers both a 5K and a 10K option, so you can run the distance that works for you.
Is 18 miles the longest they go on Sundays, or does it vary?
They list Sunday long runs as ranging from 10 to 18 miles. For exactly what's planned on a given Sunday, check their newsletter since locations and presumably distances are announced there.
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.
