Welcome to Golden Girls Run Club

Welcome to the home of the Notre Dame all girls unofficial run club!  Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned runner, we welcome all levels to join us on our runs and events. We meet every first Wednesday of the month to go on a social run, hangout with other girls who love to run, and make new friends. All ND girls are welcomed to join us for any of our run clubs (but no worries if you can't make one)! Stay tuned for news, updates, and blog posts!

About Us

Hey girls! The three of us met at the Domer Run last fall and ended up running the race together. After, we began meeting up to run around campus a few times a week. Leading up to the holy half, we ran our long runs together (having people to talk to really helped the miles go by quicker). Running brought us together, and so we decided to create an all girls run club to share what we love doing with more ND girls and also make new friendships!
