What we’re about
We were founded in 2020 by a group of running friends looking to create an inclusive community for runners on the Eastside.
We host group runs at 6 PM every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday and every Sunday morning. We sometimes arrange additional group runs during the week. You can find more information on the Weekly Runs tab. We welcome runners of all ability levels. Come out and run with us!
For more information, you can join our active Facebook group, or you can email us at board@lakesammamishrunclub.org
