Who Can Join?
The SDRC Run Club Program is designed for established run clubs that regularly bring runners together and help build San Diego’s running community. Clubs with a consistent meetup schedule are encouraged to apply for inclusion in our Run Club Directory and partnership program.
What We Look For
🏃 An Active Run Club
Host organized group runs on a consistent basis (recommended: at least one recurring meetup per week).
📍 Serving the Greater San Diego Community
Operate primarily within San Diego County or the surrounding region.
🌐 A Public Presence
Maintain an active Instagram account, Facebook page, Strava club, website, or similar public platform where runners can easily find your club and learn about upcoming meetups.
👥 A Community-Focused Club
Be open to welcoming new runners who want to join your community. We understand every club has its own culture and membership expectations—we’re simply looking for clubs whose goal is to build and grow the local running community.
Verification
To help maintain an accurate and valuable Run Club Directory, every club is reviewed before being added to the SDRC Run Club Program. This allows us to verify club information and ensure our directory reflects active, community-focused organizations.
