Run with your local, lovable misfit runners
Come run with us — no matter your pace, background, or experience.
We’re Yinz Run Club, a free, friendly, all-levels running community based in Pittsburgh. Whether you're lacing up for your very first run or you're a seasoned marathoner, there's a spot for you here.
We believe running should be fun, inclusive, and something you look forward to. So we keep it simple: show up, run your pace, and enjoy the vibes. No pressure. No judgment. Just good people moving together.

WHAT are “Rotating Locations”
We rotate between different businesses around Pittsburgh to keep things fresh and explore the city together. Think: Lawrenceville, Southside, the North Shore, and more. For the most up to date information, Follow us @yinzrunclub on instagram and sign up for the newsletter for weekly updates!
We have two offerings: RUN CREW and TRAILS. RUN CREW happens every Wednesday in the city and on the sidewalks. We offer a 3 mile and 1 mile distance option, so you can pick what works for you. At TRAILS, we run dirt. 3 miles, on hills with mud, rocks, and elevation in parks.. We promise it’s fun, but we recommend folks to be ready for a true trail running experience their first time so plan accordingly. Both offerings are “no drop.” This means that our YRC Volunteers are in the front and back of the groups running so all runners know where to go and no runners are left behind!
For both after a short intro, we’ll split into pace groups (led by volunteers), do a quick warm-up, and then we’re off!
our Runs
We offer 8:30–11:30 min/mile pace groups at our Wednesday RUN CREW, and our 1 mile is paceless. At TRAIL, we have two pace groups that run a little faster and a little slower (between 11:30min/mile and 13:30min/mile). All pace groups for both distance offerings are led by volunteers pacers with sweepers at the back.
Our YRC Volunteers are there to keep you safe, run with folks at your speed, and make every mile more fun and encouraging. Please listen and respect their instructions.
Pace Groups?
When your pace group returns from your run, you’ll have time to eat, drink, and meet some new friends. It’s low-key and totally optional, but a great way to meet other misfits and celebrate the run. At our Trails run, we always have free coffee supplied by De Fer Coffee and Tea, and everyone is encouraged to bring a snack to share!
After the Run
Strollers, Dogs & Vibes Welcome
Bring your pup. Push a stroller. Wear jorts. Be yourself. Yinz Run Club is about community, movement, and good energy. We try our best to choose routes that are safe and ADA Accessible for everyone. However, sometimes Pittsburgh sidewalks have other ideas. If you’re concerned about what our route will be, check out our Strava Group where we post all our Routes. Have more questions? DM us @yinzrunclub or join our Discord.
If you’re thinking “I’m not a runner,” this is especially for you. We were all new once — promise. Just sign the waiver, show up, and we’ll take it from there.
