How to build community through run clubs

Run clubs are more than scheduled meetups on a calendar. They are spaces where runners come together to connect, build community, and share miles safely and inclusively. Behind every great group run is careful planning: choosing the route, setting expectations, managing pace groups, and making sure everyone feels welcomed. At Footpath, we know how important mapping is in this process. Routes help organizers plan logistics, communicate clearly with attendees, and keep everyone on course.
