BIG Week 2 for Track Night!🐆

Monday night we had our second weekly Running Wild track night and it was a FAST one. A hot night but the crew put in the hustle with a Fartlek style workout. All ages, all experience levels were out there putting in the work💪

We also had the honor of being joined by one of the fastest mid-distance runners in US history, Tom Byers, a member of the local running community, who’s all time best of 2:16.1 in the 800 ranks 3rd in US history as well as a 3:50.84 in the mile putting him 11th.🏅

It was an electric night and another brick in place toward this group getting new PRs and podiums.🧱

We’ll be off for Memorial Day Weekend but see you guys back the following week!

Track Night: Week 1🐆

Last night runners of all ages, paces, and backgrounds came together for one reason: to get better together.

The group warmed up, pushed through a tough threshold workout, encouraged one another through every rep, and capped off the night with a cooldown led by Coach .

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the first Track Night such a success.

And huge thank you to Cardinal Gibbons for allowing our group to use such an incredible facility.

See you next Monday ⚡️

Track Night is here.

Not everyone can make the early mornings…
so we built something for the evenings.

Through a partnership with Cardinal Gibbons High School, we’re bringing organized track workouts to Monday nights.

📍 Cardinal Gibbons HS Track
🕕 Mondays · 6:30 PM

All levels welcome—
whether you’re just getting started or you’re chasing big PRs.

Workouts will be led by Running Wild’s own Coach .

No signup.
No gear needed.

Just show up with the right attitude and be ready to work hard and get better together.

First Run in the Books📚

The word community gets thrown around a lot.

Anytime people gather it gets labeled as one. But we’ve always believed it’s something deeper than that.

Real connections.
Real relationships.
Real moments shared.

That’s what we’re here for.

And we also know something like this doesn’t get built by one person.. or even a few.

It takes a village of people showing up for the right reasons.

So everyone who came out last night, whether it was your first time,
or your first time back in 6 years (shout out to the ones with the OG Funky Shirts):

We consider you a cofounder in this next chapter of Running Wild.

No one showed up because they were offered something. In fact many showed up with something to offer.

For the people.
For the energy.
For what this can become.

And we all left with more because of it.

This is just the beginning. Much more is coming very soon.

Next week, we’re bringing FUNKY back!

For years, the Funky Fun Run wasn’t just another group run. It was a staple of the Lauderdale Run Community.

Every Thursday, runners of all levels would show up, run beachside along A1A, and end the night connecting over food and drinks.

Somewhere along the way, it took a hiatus.

But we’re bringing it back!

Now starting at Running Wild (free parking available) and finishing at McSorley’s Beach Pub & Rooftop—just a quick walk over the bridge.

📍 Start: Running Wild
🏁 Finish: McSorley’s Rooftop
🕕 Every Thursday · 6:30 PM
🏃‍♂️ 2–6 mile options | All paces welcome

Rooftop reserved.
Food & drink specials waiting.

If you know, you know. If you don’t—now’s your chance.
