Free Social Runs Every Thursday at 6pm
Bring a friend and join us every Thursday at 6PM for our FREE social run! Whether you're up for a 5K, 10K, or something in between, we've got a route for you — and all paces are welcome!
After the run, we love to kick back and socialize in our Taproom, where you can enjoy Ontario craft beer, kombucha, coffee, and more. It’s the perfect way to wind down and connect with fellow runners and build meaningful new connections.
These Thursday runs have been a long standing staple for the London running community and we're excited to now be bringing them to our new Kitchener location! See you on Thursday!
