About
Retiro Running is a social club founded in 2021 for people who want to make friends in Madrid while moving. It keeps groups to about 15 to 25 people, has no pacers and no group warm-up: everyone leaves together and runs or walks at their own speed, and there is usually tapas afterwards. Sessions are run in Spanish and English, and about half the community is international.
There are three meet-ups a week, always the same: Tuesday (about 10 km) and Thursday (about 7 km) in the evening, finishing at O'Donnell, and Sunday at 10:00 (about 5 km), finishing back at the start. The weekday start time moves with the season: 19:00 in winter, 19:30 in spring and autumn and 20:00 in summer. Every run starts at Puerta de la Independencia, and the club says it almost never cancels.
