The Best Run Clubs in Miami to Break a Sweat and Meet Your People
Let’s be real—Miami can feel like a hard city to meet people in. But there’s one underrated hack we swear by: joining a run club.
Not only do you get your steps (and serotonin) in, but you also meet amazing people who are just as into movement, health, and Miami living as you are. Whether you’re a power-walker, casual jogger, or training for your next half, there’s a crew for you.
Here are four of the most active and community-driven run clubs around Miami—each with its own vibe, pace, and post-run social scene.
1. Brickell Run Club
📍 Meets Mondays at 7 PM | Brickell City Centre
Follow @brickellrunclub
This is the go-to run club for Brickell locals—and one of the biggest weekly fitness meetups in the city. Open to all paces (including walkers), it’s welcoming, energetic, and filled with both beginners and seasoned runners.
The post-run networking is almost as good as the endorphins. Great for meeting new friends, connecting with like-minded locals, or kicking off your week in a healthy way.
Vibe: Social, inclusive, and full of first-timers
Best for: New Miami residents, walkers, and girls who want to run and connect
2. Coconut Grove Run Club
📍 Meets Wednesdays at 7 PM | City Hall, Coconut Grove
Follow @coconutgroverunclub
This one’s a little more low-key, but just as special. The routes wind through the lush, tree-lined streets of Coconut Grove—aka some of the prettiest running paths in the city.
It’s the perfect midweek reset if you’re craving nature, community, and just a little sweat. Runners tend to hang after for chats or grab a bite nearby.
Vibe: Chill, scenic, and very Grove
Best for: Mindful runners, wellness girlies, and midweek movement
3. South Beach Run Club
📍 Meets Tuesdays & Thursdays at 7 PM | Nike Store, Lincoln Road
Follow @southbeachrunclub
Fitness meets fashion meets the beach. South Beach Run Club is a little more fast-paced, a little more high energy, and full of runners who want to move and be seen.
The beachside routes are stunning, and the community is strong. Expect a mix of fitness professionals, locals, and stylish newcomers who love a good sweat with a view.
Vibe: Fun, energetic, and a little flashy—in a good way
Best for: Intermediate runners, beach lovers, and people who never skip leg day
4. Running Fort Lauderdale
📍 Meets Wednesdays at 6:30 PM | The Loop, Las Olas Oceanside Park
Follow @runningfortlauderdale
For our Broward babes, this is your go-to. Running Fort Lauderdale brings together a welcoming group every week to jog, sprint, or walk along the beach path. The community is tight-knit, encouraging, and full of people who genuinely love to connect.
Vibe: Beachy, laid-back, and supportive
Best for: Fort Lauderdale locals, weekend warriors, and anyone who prefers waves to weight rooms
TLDR:
You don’t have to run alone. Miami has a thriving run club scene that makes working out social, fun, and actually sustainable. Whether you’re in Brickell, the Grove, SoBe, or Fort Lauderdale, there’s a group waiting to cheer you on.
