Running Clubs in Austin: A Local Guide
Austin has 18 running clubs and group runs in our directory — enough that whatever you’re after, from an easy social jog to a marathon build-up, there’s a group for it here. The scene leans toward 7 trail groups, 4 social & fun-run crews, 3 marathon-training groups and 3 youth programs.
Most of these crews meet somewhere social and easy to find — a running store, a brewery or taproom, a park, a track, or a coffee shop — and set off together at a set day and time each week. The great majority of community group runs in Austin are free; you simply turn up. And if you’re worried about being too slow, don’t be: plenty of Austin clubs run at all paces or “no-drop,” meaning nobody gets left behind.
