What we’re about
Westside Runners (Douglas, Paulding, Cobb): Trails, Roads, and Post-Run Pizza!
Welcome to Westside Runners—a no frills group for those looking to make new friends and log some miles. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or someone who only runs when being chased, you're welcome here. We embrace all paces, from the gazelles to the "I'll get there when I get there" crowd.
Our Schedule? Wednesday evenings we now alternate between Skint Chestnut Brewery and Downtown Douglasville. Saturdays we alternate between Sweetwater Creek State Park and Silver Comet Trail at Linear Park
Wednesdays @ Skint Chestnut Brewery in Powder Springs: Meet at 6:30pm for a 1 hr run along the Silver Comet Trail. Social hour afterwards at the brewery. Bring your own food or grab a snack at the adjacent restaurant, SGC Chicken and Seafood.
Wednesdays @ Downtown Douglasville: Two start times for twice the fun! For those who want a little extra mileage, we kick things off at 6:00 PM from the fountain in downtown Douglasville (free parking in the parking deck). Then, we circle back to the fountain at 6:30 PM for a solid 3.5 mile run around downtown. All skill levels are welcome at either start time, and the real reward comes afterward—pizza at Fabiano's! Because we believe the best way to refuel is with carbs and laughter.
Saturdays at 8:00 AM: Mornings are for adventure! We'll alternate between the scenic Silver Comet Trail in Powder Springs and the natural beauty of Sweetwater Creek State Park in Lithia Springs. So, whether you like your trails paved or rugged, we’ve got you covered. Silver Comet Linear Park location has free parking and Sweetwater State park has a $5 entrance fee.
Why Join Us?
Because running is more fun with friends, and we promise our group is more fun than most! Here, you’ll find laughs, encouragement, and maybe even some questionable advice on whether that new energy gel is actually edible. So, lace up those shoes, bring your best bad jokes, and join us for some miles, smiles, and of course—pizza!
See you on the trail or road!
