New Plano Running Club
Posted by Adept_Ad_6606@reddit | plano | View on Reddit | 14 comments
Hello,
I live in Plano and I used to be fitness trainer, I love running but I do miss the community I used to have when I was a teaching. I love running but all the running clubs are in Dallas so I started running with some friend in Legacy Trail on Sunday’s at 9am. We meet at the Windhaven Meadows Park! Some bring their kids and their partners who aren’t runners stay with the kids or dogs. If anyone want to join let me know. I’m thinking of making it a running club up here and meeting for coffee after. :)

FYI - There are two long standing running clubs in Plano: Plano Pacers (https://planopacers.org) and Plano Running Club (https://www.facebook.com/planorunningclub/)

Both excellent clubs, but all of their runs start at the ass-crack of dawn. I’m thrilled if there’s a run club that will start at 9am instead of 6am.

Yes yes. The super runners are up doing 5:30a runs and stuff. But there's a lot of us that wanna run later. It's like a couple degrees warmer when you're done, and that is well worth an extra 2 hours of sleep, amiright?
You just have to do it on FB bc that's where runners plan their shit. X-post to Frisco Running Club and Plano Running Club (they are supportive of running communities).
FFS we can love running and also we can hate 5:00a! 😁😜 (Some of us like to stay up late! (checks time of this post to confirm)).

Plano running club is super open to you using their Facebook group to organize more runs at a later time

Hi! Recently moved to Dallas and was looking to join something like this. Been running 5k usually on my own but wanted to get more involved. What’s the best way to connect?

Thanks for building community. There is a running group in Plano called Thursday Night Social Run. We meet Thursdays at 7 pm either at Shops at Legacy, Legacy West, or the Boardwalk at Granite Park. After the run, we go to a nearby restaurant for food, drinks, and socializing. The location any given week is posted on their Facebook page. They accept runners of all levels.

That’s great! Perfect for people than can run during the week.
Now they can also come an run on Sundays, and those who can’t run during the week can run on a Sunday and bring their kids and dogs :)
I’m glad there’s more clubs now! The more the better as there should be one for everyone up here!

I would love to come! I just started running again tho I am neither that fast or have a lot of resistance yet, how long are you thinking of running for?

That’s awesome. I’m not as familiar with run clubs, but have heard about them in Dallas. If you put together one for Plano, how does it work for those of us who love to run but aren’t as speedy? And what is the typical distance?
Adept_Ad_6606@reddit (OP)
This would be for all levels! Most of friends are in their 30-40s and are just starting running so I want people of all level. I have a friend who is a speedy and long distance runner (marathon) so he will be the pacer for those faster long runners, probably be for like a 10k i am more of a middle pacer so ill be the 8k runner pacer but anyone can go at their own pace, and then a 5k for beginners. Again if people want to walk a 3k by all means. The park has dog and kids park, so it just about coming together. We are inviting people this weekend to see what type of runners we have and then make something official!
