River Street Run Club
Lace up your running shoes and hit the trails with the River Street Run Club, a free, all-levels community run that meets every Wednesday at 6:30 PM at the River Street Marketplace in San Juan Capistrano.
Runners can choose from two scenic distance options: a 3-mile or a 5-mile trail adventure. The course winds through beautiful tree-lined single-track trails and alongside a flowing creek, offering participants a unique connection to nature and the invigorating open space of the area.
But it's not just about the miles—it's about the community. Whether you’re new to running or training for your next race, the River Street Run Club is a great way to stay active, meet new friends, and be part of something special. No cost, no pressure—just great people and a great time.
What to Expect:
When: Every Wednesday at 6:30 PM
Where: River Street Marketplace, San Juan Capistrano
Distances: 3-mile or 5-mile trail routes
Cost: 100% Free
