• All Paces Welcome: Whether you’re running a 7-minute mile or walking at a leisurely pace, you’ll find someone to run or walk with.
• Post-Run Socializing: Many of us love to hang out after the run to relax, chat, and celebrate another great outing together.

What to Expect

Each run typically follows the Emerald Isle bike path, which provides a safe and scenic route for all participants. Runs are generally 3-5 miles, but shorter or longer distances are always an option based on what you’re comfortable with. There’s no pressure—just show up and move at your own pace!

We encourage first-timers to come out and give it a try! If you’re feeling nervous, don’t worry—there’s no need to be a fast runner or have experience with a running club. We’re all about making exercise fun, inclusive, and rewarding.

How to Join

There’s no sign-up required, no fees, and no commitment. Just show up at The Growler on a Monday or Wednesday evening, introduce yourself, and get ready to run or walk with a supportive community!

If you’d like to stay updated on events, special meet-ups, and club news, be sure to follow us on social media or join our group chat.
