Welcome!

Welcome to the Kenosha Running Club!

We are a diverse community of local runners of all ability levels—from casual runners and avid racers to ultra-marathoners. Our activities include group runs along the Kenosha harbor, workouts on the track, monthly meetings/potlucks, as well as other non-running social events.

The club also organizes two local races a year—the Turkey Day Run and the Harvest Moon Run—and funds a college scholarship for local high school runners.

We hope you’ll come join us for a Saturday run, a monthly meeting, or one of our other social events.

About

About the Kenosha Running Club

Founded by Kenosha’s Jim Ryan in 1978, the Kenosha Running Club has become a gathering place for local runners of all ability levels—from casual runners to avid racers and ultra-marathoners. Our goal is to promote and expand running, health, and fitness in the Kenosha area while contributing to the community through our support of charitable causes and volunteer opportunities for our members.

Group Runs

We offer weekly group runs and over 100 members of all ability levels to help you reach your running goals. You’ll find support, whether you’re looking for company for a few miles or training for a marathon. We’re a big enough and diverse enough group that you’ll almost certainly have at least one other person your pace to run with. In fact, our paces range from 5 min–14 min per mile, with the largest amount of members right in the 10 min pace range.

Our weekly group run is held on Saturday mornings at the lakefront in downtown Kenosha.

The main group gathers Saturday mornings at the flagpoles located at the corner of 52^nd St. and 6^th Ave in Kenosha. We meet year-round, regardless of weather. The general route is 6 miles (3 out and 3 back). But anyone can run more or fewer miles as desired. Please see our events page for start times. There are groups running all distances and paces. So whether you’re going long or just looking for a short run, you’re likely to find company. We typically plan to finish and gather at Common Grounds (5159 6th Ave) afterwards to sip coffee and chat.
