San Francisco Bay Area Run Clubs List
I put together this rough guide on running clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area. When possible I listed cities, neighborhoods, days/times. Some groups meet at the same day/time/place every week, some rotate, and some are pop-ups.
As with all my lists, I will update and add new places based on interests from readers. There will be a date with last update located on this posted.
Please check with clubs directly for details, any fees, changes in schedule etc. as things may change.

Bay Area Run Clubs By Day (Oakland, Palo Alto, San Mateo & Beyond)
Most clubs are in San Francisco, with several in the East Bay, Peninsula, and South Bay.
A few clubs don’t have info as schedules are not known. When possible, I added notes to groups whose names don’t imply focus i.e. women, lgbtq+, etc.
There are a couple of walking clubs/running workout clubs; I may add more in the future.
