Tuesday nights · 6 PM · The Brick · Dover, NH
🏃 When & Where
Every Tuesday at 6 PM we meet at The Brick in downtown Dover, NH. Show up, say hi, and run.
🗺️ Variety of Routes
We mix it up each week with different routes around Dover. Favorites include the Dover Red's 5-miler, Mount Vernon, Washington, and parts of the community trail. Road routes with hills and flats.
🤝 Optional Post-Run Hang
We start and finish at The Brick. Many runners stick around for food, drinks, and good company, but plenty come just for the run.
👥 All Paces Welcome
Fast, slow, somewhere in between — doesn't matter. We have runners of all abilities and everyone finds their group.
About Us
Dover Run Club has a long history of Tuesday night runs in Dover. What started as a regular Tuesday meetup has grown into a large, loyal group of runners who show up rain or shine, summer or winter.
There's no membership fee, no sign-up sheet, and no pressure. Just show up at The Brick on Tuesdays at 6 PM and you're part of the crew. We run a variety of routes around Dover and the surrounding area. Many runners hang out at The Brick afterward, but plenty head home after the run—and both are part of the crew.
What to Expect
- No experience needed: Whether it's your first run or your thousandth, you're welcome
- Multiple pace groups: You'll find people running your speed
- Optional post-run hang: Some runners stay at The Brick afterward, and some just come for the run
- Year-round: We run every Tuesday, all year long

Our Roots
Dover's running community has deep history, and many of us first found each other through the energy and camaraderie that SIX03 Endurance brought to the Seacoast. Those weekly pub runs, group races, and shared miles helped shape the culture we still enjoy today.
Dover Run Club continues that spirit—welcoming runners of all paces, celebrating community, and keeping The Brick as our home base. We're proud of where we came from, and excited for where we're going together.
