How to choose a running club in Quebec
The best club is not always the fastest or the biggest. It is the one close enough, comfortable enough and welcoming enough that you will actually go back next week.
Start close to home
Pick the closest city or town first. A free run across the city may sound good, but a nearby group is easier to join after work, school or family plans.
Check the pace
Look for pace notes before going. If the page does not list pace, message the club and ask what the slowest group usually runs.
Ask if walking is okay
This matters if you are new, returning from a break or worried about keeping up. Ask if walk breaks are welcome and whether the group regroups.
Look for no drop runs
No drop usually means nobody is left behind. It is a good phrase to look for if you are nervous about joining.
Check if the group runs year round
Quebec weather changes the plan. Some clubs run year round, some move indoors, some change routes and some pause in winter.
Confirm the meeting spot
Many groups meet at cafés, stores, parks, tracks or rotating trailheads. Click the club name and confirm the latest spot before leaving.
Try more than one club
The first group may not be the right fit. Try a store run, a social crew, a parkrun, a trail group or a coached club before deciding.

How to use the links in this directory
Each club name links to the best public page found for that group. For some clubs that is a website. For others, it may be Instagram, Facebook, a store page, a parkrun page, an Athlétisme Québec profile or a public event listing.
Before your first run
- Open the club link and check the next date, time and meeting spot.
- Look for pace notes, distance options and whether the run is no drop or beginner friendly.
- Message the club if you are unsure about pace, walking breaks, route difficulty or cost.
- For social media only clubs, check the most recent posts before you go.
- For store runs, confirm that your local store still hosts the run that week.

Quebec running club FAQ
Are running clubs in Quebec free?
Some are free, including parkrun events, many social run crews and some store runs. Coached clubs, trail programs, track clubs and seasonal training groups often charge a membership or session fee.
How do I find a beginner friendly running club?
Use the beginner friendly filter, then click the club name and look for words like all paces, beginner, social pace, walk breaks or no drop. When in doubt, message the club before going.
What should I ask before joining a group run?
Ask about pace, distance, whether walking is okay, if the run is no drop, where to meet and whether you need to register first.
Are there trail running clubs in Quebec?
Yes. Quebec has trail groups in places like Montréal, Bromont, Sutton, Sherbrooke, Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, Saint-Félicien, Gaspé and Mont-Tremblant. Trail groups may change meeting spots often, so confirm the trailhead before you go.
Should I join a store run, social run club or coached club?
Choose a store run or social club if you want an easy first step and a low cost. Choose a coached club if you want structure, feedback, workouts or a plan for a race.
How do I add a club to this list?
Email hello@runninggearlab.com with the club name, city, public website or social link, meeting spot, run days, pace range, cost and whether beginners are welcome.
