West Midtown Run Club
Atlanta, Georgia
West Midtown Run Club is a free, all-levels social run club meeting Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. in Atlanta's West Midtown neighborhood. The club historically launches from lululemon on Howell Mill Road and features urban road routes of approximately 3 miles with a mixed-pace, community-focused crowd.
About This Club
West Midtown Run Club meets every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. outside lululemon on Howell Mill Road, right in the heart of West Midtown Atlanta. It is free to show up, no membership required, and they describe themselves as all-levels with a mixed-pace crowd. If you live or work on the Westside and want a midweek run that does not feel like a workout class, this fits.
Who It Suits
This works well for after-work runners in the Westside neighborhoods who want a consistent midweek run with company, and for anyone newer to running who wants a low-stakes way to be around other runners. If you are training hard for a race and need a structured speed session or a long run, this particular Wednesday outing probably is not your primary workout.

What a Run With Them Is Like
You are running urban roads around West Midtown, roughly 3 miles per outing. The pace is genuinely mixed, so you are not going to be chasing a pace group that left you behind at the first light. After the run, the group has been known to head over to Monday Night Brewing's Grove space nearby, so there is a real social piece to the evening if you want it.

Your First Run
Show up to 1100 Howell Mill Rd NW at 6:30 p.m. on a Wednesday and look for the group outside lululemon. You do not need to register or pay anything in advance.
Walking in alone is normal here, this is a Wednesday after-work crowd, not a tight-knit team that has been training together for years. Three miles of city roads is manageable even if you have not run in a while, and a mixed pace means you are not the only one taking it easy.

Common Questions About West Midtown Run Club
Do I have to pay or sign up before I come?
No. It is free and no membership is required. Just show up at lululemon on Howell Mill Road at 6:30 p.m. on a Wednesday.
How far do they actually run?
Around 3 miles on urban roads through West Midtown.
Will I be too slow for this group?
They describe themselves as all-levels with a mixed-pace crowd, so there is no single pace everyone is locked into. You are not going to be the one person holding up a fast group.
Is there anything after the run, or does everyone just leave?
Recent meetups have included post-run time at Monday Night Brewing's Grove space, so there is usually somewhere to land if you want to hang around.
Do they run every week, or do they take weeks off?
They meet weekly on Wednesdays. Whether they go out in bad weather or around holidays is not something they have spelled out publicly, so it is worth checking their social media before you make the drive on a rough-weather night.
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.
