How do I find a run club near me?
Tell JOG AI at the top of this page what kind of running you want and roughly where
you are, and it searches over 2,000 UK run clubs to find the ones that fit. Or
browse the directory by city - every club is listed with its
run days, times and exact meeting point. The app shows them all on one map around you.
Are run clubs free to join?
Yes - every run club listed on JOG is a free social running group. You turn up at the
meeting point at the club's run time. Some meet at a café or pub afterwards, but running
with them costs nothing.
Do I need to be fast to join a run club?
No. Most clubs on JOG are open to all levels and plenty are social-pace 5Ks with
nobody left behind. Each club page says who it's for, and JOG AI reads the club's own
Instagram so it can tell you what the pace and the vibe are really like before you show up.
What should I expect at my first run club?
Arrive five minutes early, say hello to the host, and expect a short warm-up, a 5K to
10K route with groups split by pace, and usually a coffee or a pint afterwards. You don't
need club kit or a membership.
Do I need to sign up before my first run?
Usually not - for most clubs you can simply turn up. The JOG app lets you RSVP so the
host knows you're coming, and shows you who else is going.
Which UK cities have run clubs on JOG?
All of them. JOG lists over 2,000 approved clubs and events across England, Scotland,

and Bradford - with a directory page for every city and town.
