RUNNING CLUBS CANADA

Kits Social Run Club is an up and coming running community based in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood. Founded in the summer of 2024, the club meets every Monday at 6:30pm at Point Grey Park Site for an easy, conversational run of around 5km.

Paces typically sit between 5:00 and 6:30 min per km, making it accessible for runners who are newer or easing into consistency. The group has a mid sized, social feel with a younger crowd, including students, and focuses on keeping things relaxed, welcoming, and community driven.

A Very Good Run Club is a small and welcoming running group based in Vancouver’s Gastown neighbourhood. Meeting every Thursday at 6:30pm outside Feel Good Fitness, the club runs around 5km at a steady 5:00 to 6:00 min per km pace.

Founded in 2023, the group is known for its intimate size, familiar faces, and thoughtful route planning that keeps runs comfortable and enjoyable. With strong community roots, proper warm ups, and post run taco discounts, this club is ideal for runners looking for a cosier, social alternative to larger run groups.

North End Runners started in 2013 and has grown into one of Halifax’s most community driven crews. They are not a traditional running club. They keep things raw and inclusive, mixing road and trail, exploring the city and the woods, and building a space where effort matters more than chasing PBs. Their weekly crew night happens every Wednesday at 6pm at the shoelace sculpture by the Oval. Runners choose between a 6K route or the 4K option, and the vibe stays welcoming at every pace.

They keep a strong emphasis on showing up for each other. The group celebrates long runs on Sundays with their Church and Sunday School routes, and they hit the trails when the weather and season allow. Swag drops come once a year and they stay active in the local scene with a monthly sociable and their own beer collaboration with North Brewing Co. NER is free to join, open to everyone and built around the belief that running is better when you do it together.

OCRC is a long standing community run in Ottawa built around consistency, inclusivity and good energy. They meet every Tuesday at 7:30pm at Beyond the Pale Brewery, which has become their home base since the beginning. The format stays simple so anyone can join. Show up, meet the crew and head out for a social run through the city.

The club is known for keeping things light and community focused. They host special events through the year too, including their popular beer mile that pulls in runners from across Ottawa. Whether you are new to running or already deep in it, OCRC is one of those clubs where you feel part of the group from day one.
