UPDATE AS OF May 30, 2022

In support of the most up to date provincial health order, the Run Club has adjusted safety protocols.

No restrictions at this time.

Come on by anytime. We don’t have any drop-ins or associated drop-in fees, but you’re welcome to join in on a few runs with us. If you find the club is a good fit, then you can sign up for a membership! Remember, memberships are pro-rated on a quarterly basis.

Along with a group of Run Club ambassadors, Coach Tim sets up the run routes and oversees the overall pace and structure of the workouts.

Most importantly, make sure you have a pair of comfortable running shoes. Whether you decide to wear shorts or pants, or a long sleeve versus a tank will depend on what temperature range you tolerate best. Regardless, consider clothing made with moisture-managing materials as they help with regulating body temperature.

Come see one of our knowledgeable Rackets & Runners staff to learn more about what attire is most suited for you.

Everyone’s fitness levels are different, but generally we recommend beginners start with Project Finish Line 10K Clinic. If your fitness level surpasses the clinic, then try out a 5K run on one of the Tuesdays. There are a range of pace groups to run or walk/run with, and we will make sure you start at an appropriate pace.

Most runs start from Rackets & Runners. There are several routes that take advantage of the scenic surroundings and excellent running paths. On occasion, we have field trips. If the starting point is different, we let you know via a weekly newsletter or a post in the Oak Street Runners Facebook Group.

You bet! There are folks who run or walk/run at gentler speeds and those who hit a steady 4:30 min/k pace. People are grouped together according to pace on a session to session basis, and we consider other factors like injuries, upcoming races, etc. No runner is left behind!

Sure thing - we have an area in the store dedicated to storing your belongings.

After every Saturday run, we head over to Pallet Coffee Roasters for post-run beverages and treats. In addition to that, we meet on a semi-regular basis outside of Run Club for birthday celebrations, destination runs, and other fun events. It’s a supportive group with a lot of friendly faces.

Just come out and have some fun! We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but you’ll get a good workout in.
