Running in a group is one of the easiest ways to meet people in Mexico City: a set time, a shared route and, often, a coffee or a drink afterwards. According to Chilango (2026), social running is increasingly common in the capital. We only list groups with their own source from 2026; for G·Running it's its listing, updated in February 2026, so confirm the next run before you go.

The run clubs one by one
Midnight Runners Ciudad de México (route varies)
The Mexico City branch of the international Midnight Runners movement: a weekly "bootcamp" with music, running and stops for full-body exercises, in which the captains keep the group together. They run on Thursday evenings, for all levels, and according to its description on Heylo it's free (2026). The route and the time of each run appear on Heylo, in Spanish and English, and that's also where you sign up. Midnight Runners Ciudad de México on Heylo
Mexico City Hash House Harriers (varying locations)
A social group that has been running or walking marked routes since 1980, usually 3 to 7 km, and finishes with beer and socialising; jokingly, they describe themselves as a drinking club with a "problem": running. There's often one route for running and a shorter one for walking. They meet on some Saturday afternoons, not every week, at different locations, for example a terrace in Colonia San Rafael or the Parque Hundido. The usual fee is MXN 100 a run (2026); check the terms of each event. You sign up on Meetup, where the notices are in English. Mexico City Hash House Harriers on Meetup
Metta Running House (Polanco and Condesa)
A running shop with several brands and its own café, which organises group runs every week under the motto "#RunningKindness". According to its weekly schedule, on Tuesday mornings there's a run in Polanco; on Wednesday mornings, the "Trote entre Corredoras", a space for women runners to run together, also in Polanco; on Thursday evenings, the "Trote Nocturno" through Condesa; and on Saturday mornings, a long-distance run from Polanco. The schedule gives no times or price, so ask at the shop or on its Instagram. The shops are at Enrique Wallon 414 in Polanco and at Avenida México 99 in Colonia Hipódromo. mettarunninghouse.com
Timeleft runs (Roma-Condesa and Polanco)
The Timeleft app, which brings people who don't know each other together in small groups, also organises runs on Saturdays at 10 am in Roma-Condesa and in Polanco: "It's not a race, so any pace works". The meeting point appears in the app twelve hours beforehand. You need a membership; the city page doesn't publish the rate, which you see when you book (2026). You choose Spanish or English. timeleft.com
Running Girls Club (varying locations)
A local running group with a focus on women: social runs, runs before big races and some with yoga, pilates or a picnic. Some runs are for women only; the page doesn't say whether all of them are. They meet mostly on weekend mornings, sometimes on weekday evenings, at different locations such as the Auditorio Nacional, the Museo Tamayo, Paseo de la Reforma, Chapultepec or Ciudad Universitaria, and sometimes outside the city, in the Estado de México. Dates are posted on Luma, where you sign up; some have limited places and a waiting list. Some are free; check the price of each one (2026). Running Girls Club on Luma
G·Running (Paseo de la Reforma)
The Mexico City group in the international Front Runners network, which brings together LGBTQ+ runners. According to its listing on the network, updated in February 2026, they usually meet on Sundays from 8 am on Paseo de la Reforma, and once a month they run somewhere else in the city to discover new routes and strengthen the community. That listing gives no price, dates or exact spot; it refers to their Instagram, @g.runningmx, where it's best to confirm the next run. G·Running on frontrunners.org
Founders Running Club (Estela de Luz)
The Mexico City branch of an international network of groups for running and networking among founders, investors, operators and entrepreneurs: 5 km at a conversational pace, with networking during the run and afterwards. They set off on Saturdays at 7:30 am from the Estela de Luz and do a loop of the first section of Chapultepec; afterwards, anyone who wants to goes to a nearby café. It's free, with sign-up on Luma.

Running without a club
On Sundays, except the last one of each month, the Sunday outing Muévete en Bici closes a route of about 61 km to traffic from 8 am to 2 pm, including Paseo de la Reforma; it's open for cycling, skating, walking or running, and it's free (2026). It's not a club, but it's a good place to run in company. Check the route announced for each date. Infobae, Muévete en Bici and Ovaciones, times of the Sunday outing
How to find your club
- Pace: If you want to run without pressure, try the Timeleft runs, where "any pace works", or Founders Running Club, at a conversational pace; if you'd rather walk, the Hash often has a walking route.

- Group: On Wednesdays, Metta organises the Trote entre Corredoras, and Running Girls Club focuses on women. G·Running is part of the LGBTQ+ Front Runners network.
- Language: The Hash posts its notices in English, Midnight Runners in Spanish and English, and at Timeleft you choose Spanish or English; for the other clubs, check the language with the organisers.
- Signing up: Heylo for Midnight Runners, Meetup for the Hash, Luma for Running Girls Club and Founders, the app for Timeleft; for Metta and G·Running, ask on Instagram.
After the run
Simple questions work: "Do you always do this route?", "How long have you been coming?", "Are you training for a race?" If the group has a WhatsApp chat, check the announcements of its activities there. And if you got on well with someone, suggest running together next week.
For people who lead a run club
If you lead a run club like these, you know the moment after the coffee when everyone heads off without swapping numbers. before is a web app for organisers. Before the start you show the QR code on your phone; runners check in with it in their browser, without installing an app, and anyone who likes takes a selfie. The day after, the afterparty is open from 10 am to 8 pm. Anyone who shared a selfie sees everyone else who shared one there and can press the button for meeting again for up to five people. At 8 pm everyone finds out at the same time who wants to see each other again, and only then does a chat open. One-sided wishes stay invisible, and nobody receives a rejection. Nobody needs a profile. More on the page before for organisers.
