Bull City Run Club
Join us for Bull City Run Club Season 14!
**SEASON 14 KICKOFF: MACH BLOCK PARTY ~ MARCH 13, 2024**
Every Wednesday @ 6:00pm.
Come run or walk with us!
Run Club meets at Bull City Running – Downtown. Rain or Shine!
*New for 2024* WE ARE GOING CUPLESS!
To reduce the carbon footprint of Bull City Run Club, we’re eliminating our biggest source of waste, disposable cups! We’ll continue to supply a water cooler, so please bring your own water bottle/hydration device, or you can purchase a Hydropak reusable and packable cup from Bull City Running Co for $4.00.
Parking: Please park in this lot or in this lot! Both of these lots are on either side of the Measurement, Inc. building, which is just across the street from City Place. On-street parking in the neighborhood is also available. Do not plan to park at City Place in front of Bull City Running Co – there will not be space!
Throughout the season, we will invite local community partners and vendors to join us at run club. This is a great way to demo new product and learn about the experts and resources in our community that can assist with your training and recovery.
After the run/walk, we invite you to enjoy many food and beverage options in the neighborhood with your new friends from Run Club!
How does this work?

– Check-in every time you come for fun rewards at the end of the season!

A FEW NOTES ABOUT RUN CLUB:
It can be whatever you want it to be! If you want to show up every week and check in to let us know you’re here, that is great, and we will track your participation and reward you with fun stuff. Alternately, if you just want to show up whenever you are free and know that there is a fun group of folks to run or walk and have a beer with, that’s great too!
Runners and walkers are welcome! Well behaved furry friends on leash that are comfortable with crowds are also welcome.
Be safe. It is your personal responsibility to see, be seen, obey pedestrian laws, be aware of potential hazards that include, but are not limited to: other runners/walkers, cars, cyclists, potholes, cracked and uneven pavement, bronze bulls, brontos, curbs, flashing bulls, speed bumps, and fire hydrants. Remember to run against traffic and that jaywalking is against the law (and may result in an altercation with a vehicle = not a good start to the evening). Bull City Running Co. assumes no responsibility or liability for your personal conduct or injury while running or walking with the group.
Have fun! First and foremost, this is a social group. We all have at least 2 things in common: we like to move our bodies and we like to support local business. This is a great starting point! Try to meet someone new every week and find out what else you have in common!
