Our neighborhood running club met for the first time on a freezing Saturday morning with exactly four people and no name, and by mile two someone had suggested “The Sole Sisters” so many times that it just became official without a vote. Nobody remembers who said it first, but it’s been on our group chat header for three years now.

If your crew is still deciding what to call yourselves, here are 80 running club names to consider.

Final Thoughts

The Sole Sisters is up to fifteen members now, most of whom show up more for the coffee after than the run itself, which is honestly the whole point. Pick a name that makes people want to show up on a cold Saturday morning, whatever that name ends up being. The right one usually just happens on its own, somewhere around mile two.
