What's Happening?

Welcome to the website of the Somerville Road Runners, Somerville Massachusetts' oldest running club. Bordering Boston and Cambridge, we're a motley crew that works hard, but doesn't let that get in the way of having a good time. SRR is a charitable, non-profit organization that sponsors many events a year including weekly runs, track workouts, annual races and even competitive but delicious cook-offs! Our club welcomes new members of all abilities. Read on to find out what we've been up to lately.

Weekly Runs

Need some running motivation during the week?  We have you covered.  Somerville Road Runners offer several organized runs throughout the week.  Mondays we run out of the Burren in East Somerville, Tuesday's we have track @ Tufts, and Thursday we run out of Casey's in East Somerville.

Monday

SRR hosts a free weekly 5K Fun Run on Monday nights at 6:45 PM at the Burren Pub and Restaurant (247 Elm Street) in Davis Sq, Somerville. No need to sign up in advance - just show up by 6:45 PM and sign in when you arrive.

We gather inside the Burren, either in the back room or the basement. If we're in the basement, you should see a sign near the bar telling us that we're meeting downstairs. Either way, you can leave your things in the Burren during the run, though be thoughtful about bringing valuables. We've never had anything go missing, but nobody is watching our things while we're out on our run. More details…

Wednesday

SRR and Mighty Squirrel have partnered to bring a free fun run open to anyone and everyone west of the city. You don’t need to be a club member to participate. Just show up at by 6:30pm at Mighty Squirrel’s new brewery and taproom in Waltham (411 Waverley Oaks Rd, Waltham, MA). The run begins at 6:45pm.

Everyone will gather inside the taproom. They will provide a safe place to leave your bags and gear during the run. The course route will alternate over time, but will always be between 3 and 4 miles. All runners get a free amazing soft pretzel with dipping sauce after the run, and of course you get to enjoy their great beer (at regular price, of course). More details…

Thursday

Every Thursday evening - We Leave Casey's Bar on 171 Broadway, Somerville @ 7:08 PM to head to the start. Race starts at 7:15PM
