Jointhe Pod.
A free, family-friendly community run club for every pace. Run 1, 2 or 3 miles, then hang out with food and drinks at a local spot.
What is a pod?
A pod is a family of whales
New London is the Whaling City, and whales travel together in pods. They move as a group, look out for each other and cover serious distance side by side. That's us. When you run with Whaling City Run Club, you're part of the Pod.
Weekly runs
Wednesdays are for the Pod
Every week we meet at a different local business in New London, run together, then stick around to eat, drink and hang out. We're family friendly and open to all abilities, and the 1-mile route is walkable. First time? Just show up. Nobody gets left behind.
