Group Runs

There are many group runs on the Cape with varying distances and paces and there is something for everyone, from turtles to speedsters. Runs are free, fun and a great way to meet new runners and walkers! These group runs are not sanctioned or administered by the Cape Cod Athletic Club but a lot of club members participate and they are a great way to meet the club. This schedule is provided for informational purposes only – check with the listed contacts for the latest status and follow the CCAC Facebook page. See the 2025 List of Summer Group Run here.
