Run clubs are a perfect way to meet new people, stay active, and find a sense of community. Luckily, Atlanta has a thriving running community, highlighted by the Atlanta Marathon in February.
It’s never too late to lace up your shoes and find the perfect run club for you.
Atlanta Run Club
Powered by Nike, Atlanta Run Club is a minority-founded cultural evolution. More than a run club, ARC is a lifestyle. With runs every Monday, Saturday, and Sunday, ARC goes beyond with a Discord of motivations, updates, and shares. From seasoned marathoners to running beginners, Atlanta Run Club is truly for everybody.

Atlanta Track Club
Home to the AJC Peachtree Road Race, Atlanta Track Club hosts weekly walk/runs that are free and open to everyone. Running around the BeltLine, Atlanta Track Club is a member-based organization centered around running that delivers world-class events, training programs and community outreach activities to the Metro Atlanta Area.
Run Smyrna
Established in 2013, Run Smyrna meets up on Monday nights at 6:30p at Smyrna Beer Market by Stout Brothers. Hitting 3-5 miles at your pace, Run Smyrna offers gear demos, and raffles, and gives back to the community with shoe recycling programs.
