About This Club

ZFT Run Club meets in Addison, Texas at Vitruvian Park, three times a week during training season and twice a week in the off-season. It's free to join, no membership needed, and built around running alongside community service and family events rather than just logging miles. If you're looking for a beginner-friendly, walker-welcome group that treats running as part of a bigger picture, this fits.

Highlights

  • Running with a purpose
  • Do life together
  • Family-oriented
  • Diversity focus
  • Free runs
  • Community events
  • Race options
  • Social fellowship

Who It Suits

This suits beginners, walkers, and people who want running tied to social connection and community, including families given the family-oriented, diversity-focused approach. It's not built for competitive racers chasing pace goals or for trail runners, since the terrain is pavement and park paths and the pace is intentionally open, not structured training.

What a Run With Them Is Like

The pace here is described simply as run your own race, with all paces welcome and walkers included, so there's no assumed speed to keep up with. Distances vary and include 5K and 10K options, run on pavement and through Addison parks. Sessions happen Sunday mornings, Wednesday evenings, and Saturday mornings, with the record not specifying whether the group splits by pace, so expect a flexible, low-pressure structure rather than a strict pace-group setup.

Your First Run

No registration is needed, you just show up at Vitruvian Park in Addison at one of the scheduled times, Sunday 7:30-9:30am, Wednesday 6:30-8:30pm, or Saturday 8:30-10:30am. Bring running shoes, water, and a mat.

Check the club's Instagram, @ZFTRunClub_Dallas, beforehand for specific meeting details since exact spots within the park can shift. Since walkers and all paces are explicitly welcome, there's no real risk of holding anyone up, and going alone is normal here since there's no sign-up step separating regulars from first-timers.
