My running club has “hosted” runs, wherein a member volunteers his/her house as the start/end point of a group run (typically 3-5 miles long), and then hosts either a bbq (summer) or breakfast (winter). Summer hosted runs are done 1x month on the 3rd thursday evening (May through Sept) and winter runs are on every weekend (either saturday or sunday, hosts’ choice) in the morning (8am start). The food is not elaborate. These are nice because of the social aspect afterwards.

I’ll repost and try to show up with some buds. There’s a race the day before at Colby so might be hard to get them out.

Love the Dylan Thomas quote.
Our running club in Melrose, MA has two weekly runs. On Tuesday night we do a club run where people can run a few miles or up to 7 miles or so. some go further. The key is that with the variety of paces and mileage, everyone finds someone to run with.
Leading up to Boston and the Baystate Marathon we have a 15 week series of Sunday long runs. These weekly events brings us together as a club and as individuals we develop friendships and learn from each other.
We also participate in the Lake Winnie relay and the Mill Cities Relay. These events help groups of people get to know each other very well and are a lot of fun.
We also throw several parties each year.
Here is our web site if you want to see more info on what we do.

A friend of mine said joining a running club was the best thing he ever did for his running.
