Thursday Run

The Thursday night beer run is the iconic Tacoma Runners event. Every week we run from a different bar or restaurant. Rain or shine. Join us!

Free Saturday 5k

The free Saturday 5k is a timed event on a measured course. It is a great way to start your weekend off right with a training run or a little competition among friends.

Coming Soon

Our runners come from a varied mix of backgrounds and experiences. A 3 mile run may be a day off. Or, it may be aspirational. At the end of the run, we all have stories to tell.

Upcoming Events

There are a lot of running events in the South Sound these days. Here are a few upcoming options:

Some words about us

The Tacoma Runners began in January 2010 with a few words on Twitter. Three people confirmed for an easy run from Tacoma's iconic Parkway Tavern. Seven showed up. Twelve runners came for week two from the Red Hot. Then sixteen the following week. After more than four years, several thousand runners have joined us and the group continues to grow. All events are open to runners of all speeds and abilities. We won't lose you.

We have two weekly runs - a Thursday night beer run and a free Saturday 5k. These are a great way to meet people and learn about all the various running options in the South Sound.

Testimonials

Tacoma Runners completely changed my negative opinion about Washington. Never thought I could meet so many people who enjoy running, drinking beer and conversation. They made it hard to leave Washington and I can't wait to get back.

Jamie GreenhalghRunner

I first ran with Tacoma Runners on their 2 anniversary run. In the 2 years since, I've met many wonderful people. Some of those inspired me to run more. Today, I run for 'funfitness' and am in the best shape of my life. Tacoma Runners run this town!!!

Eric DavisRunner

I started with Tacoma Runners in Dec '13 and have ran weekly with them ever since. I started as a very beginner and they have given me constant motivation and support. I developed a love for running, shed 30 lbs and also have met many great friends along the way. I also have ran in the most beautiful places in Tacoma that I never knew existed. I love Tacoma Runners!
