Our run club is more than just a workout, it’s a community. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting, 2mro offers a welcoming environment to push yourself, stay accountable, and meet like-minded people. Plus, the energy is unmatched. Running with a group makes it easier to stay motivated, and the post-run vibes are always worth it (spikeball, volleyball, cornhole, soccer, free drinks, & more). If you want to challenge yourself, make new connections, and be part of something bigger, this is the place to be.

This run group was first created as we found no running groups on a Friday. It is called “Fun Frugal Friday” because we’re a “Fun” group. It’s “Frugal” because instead of spending lots of money at the bar we’re running. And lastly, “Friday” because we run on a Friday. Please feel welcome in this wonderful Calgary running community!

We invite anyone looking for a nice group of runners to play with, to consider joining us. We typically train for a Spring and a Fall event with the earlier date targeting the 10k to Half Marathon and finishing with a half marathon or marathon in the Fall - although all runners are accommodated, whatever the distance. If you are just getting started or looking to 'take it up a notch' without the pressures of intra-group competition, this may be the group for you. A running schedule is prepared by the long-time coach of this group, Colleen Parsons, and caters to all distances desired by the team members. Ongoing assistance with changes to your program are possible and volunteer Run Captains ensure no one gets lost. If you are looking to get faster or just looking to finish, Run21 Club can meet your needs. There is an annual membership fee that covers a number of benefits throughout the year. If you like, you can join as a social member or to try us out before committing. Tailgait (tailgate) events occur spontaneously after Saturday runs and pub-night Monday runs are frequent.

LGBTQ2SI+ Running/Walking group. All levels welcome - Coffee to follow. Calgary Front Runners is an affiliated club with the International Front Runners. International Front Runners is an affiliation of LGBTQ+ running and walking clubs that have organized in many of the larger cities around the world. There are currently over one hundred Front Runners clubs around the world and they are as diverse as where they are situated. Some of the clubs have hundreds of members, some only a few. Many include walkers, not just runners, and a number of clubs have more walkers than runners. Some of the clubs elect officers, have bylaws and a membership dues structure, many don't. Most have regular weekly runs and walks, and get together at local restaurants afterwards. And the fact that there are three different spellings of the name -- FrontRunners, Front Runners and Frontrunners -- is just a further example of the clubs' diversity.

Airdrie's Walk and Run Club is an active living club based in the beautiful community of Airdrie, Alberta open to all levels of walkers and runners.

The goal was to start a run club where every body and every human felt welcome, seen and supported. Whether you're coming back from injury or illness, you don't have that kind of support or just want to try something new. Body Art Run Club provides a welcoming place for people to build a community of runner friends. With Cochrane expanding so fast, we see so many runners running solo on the pathway and would love to help people connect. We recently launched on December 9th, and are eager to keep building momentum.

We run year-round on Wednesdays at 6:30pm. We also do monthly hikes and plan special events like glow-in-the-dark runs and cafe runs. You can join us for card games and/or pool, ping pong, shuffleboard after.

More than a run club. We’re a crew built on movement, connection, and showing up. No pressure, no pace — just good people and better habits. Led by healthcare practitioners who live what they preach. We believe movement matters more than the miles.

A fun, safe, and friendly running crew that makes Thursday nights more exciting. We welcome all ages and all running levels, whether it’s your first run or your hundredth. Good people, good vibes, fresh air, lots of smiles, and of course, watermelon every week.

There’s also a good chance we’ll add a third group for kids this year. We will also have one trail running event each month, with details announced in our Telegram group and on Strava.
