I am looking at setting up a running club in (Southwest) Houston, Texas. I set it up, but also didn’t much exposure. Mostly because I did not have the time to dedicate. Now, I plan to take more time in this endeavor. Looking for some helpful advice on getting things going. I am at 8322753183. Thanks.

Rebel Runners (Delaware) is a great example of an informal group which is wildly successful. There’s plenty of photos of smiling faces on our website. The group inspired me to write an eBook on starting a running club: http://www.StartYourClub.com

We’ve taken trips to Arizona, Minnesota, Boston, Paris and Barcelona!

Great article, Jessica. I’m moving in a few months and have been worried about finding people to run with. Someone suggested that I start a running club and I told her I didn’t know how. And now I find your article telling me how to do it!

Because I run, one of the things I want to do is start a running club. So, for all the missional runners out there, here is a good article on How to Start a Running Club. [...]

Thanks for the info. Now I just need to know how to revive a dying club and save it from its own organizational dysfunction.
