Nike South Beach Run Club

Yeah!!! It’s FREE! It’s FUN!!! It’s on SOUTH BEACH!!!
Park on 11^th and Washington at the Public Parking ($ 1 an hour), walk to the Mr. R’s store — the meet up is right in front. Every Thursday, co-​ed, runners’ abilities vary (yes there will be a crawler out there… shhh. me). Did I say free?
It is about 3 – 4 miles, they have a before stretch and an after workout… and then people go to drink smoothies, beers (for the already fit) or just chill hanging out and socializing.
You will learn how to run, train for a 5k, 10k, ½ or full marathon… or just run for fun… if you are disciplined and show up every week, you can earn a t-​shirt :-)

we loved it! we had never been and we couldn’t believe how beautiful they had the outside. they have cottage beds and a restaurant right on the beach. if ur looking for a romantic place, this place is a must do!!! it is romantic and peaceful, you feel like your on a private island…

I’ve went to this run on Thursdays twice now and it’s been a blast each time. I don’t run into many other runners in the part of Miami that I live in so it’s really nice to be in a big group of other runners who share the same passion that I do.
There are pace groups for all levels and it seems like everyone has a good time.
I will continue to go out for this awesome group.

Want to know the best way to kick off your weekend? Join Thursday night run club!
There are different pace groups so nobody feels too fast or too slow, really. No excuses! The routes are 3 – 4 miles run mostly on the boardwalk or hard sand up and down Ocean Drive. I love this group because you feel like you’re in a mini race pack, the energy is great! We stretch as a group before and after the run and occasionally do ‘8 minute abs’ core workout to hone our assets. A great way to meet fellow fitness buddies! I’ve lived on South Beach a year now and this was the first place I met like minded people. If you currently have a training plan for an upcoming race, use run club for a fast tempo run in a pace group or log our easy miles here.
You can score points by checking in, bringing a new buddy, wearing all Nike, or logging Nike+ miles. These points can nab you cool gear like T-​shirts, socks, or hats. Oh, and all members get a discount at Mr. R’s. There’s always a sponsor giving out some sort of treat like Muscle Milk, Coconut Water, or health drink to replenish after the run. Socials are really fun and themed for holidays, include a scavenger hunt, or are at Shake Shack (free food of course!)
Kudos to Frankie and the Run Club team for their efforts pulling in clutch sponsors and keeping things fun. It’s great way to build the MIA running community!

Get fit and meet friends!
Every week is fun but the socials are a special treat — Cinco de Mayo was a blast! We ran up and down Ocean Drive on a piñata quest, decked out in sombreros and other south-​of-​the-​border themed attire.
At the finish line (Mr. R’s) we enjoyed pizza, water, juice drinks and raffled off t-​shirts and other fun prizes. There were also some other free goodies and coupons for the store.
This is the most fun you can have while you run!

Okay, this group is ridiculously fun!
You must come!
The socials are so much fun, I just ran down pinatas on cinco de mayo with a bunch of people decked out in sombreros (mine given to me by said run club).
Plus, we got food drink & free stuff (cool t-​shirts, some people even won GPS tracker watches, I think) post-​run.
Frequent runner program is up and running (no pun intended) again, so you can get free stuff just by showing up & bringing friends. Plus, you get a discount at Mr. R’s for being a run clubber.
Anyhow, get yourself off your couch to run club and meet these cool people. You will be glad you did!

The running isn’t the best part! It is the people! Great views with friendly people. Very very large diverse group of people.
