Stronger together , mile by mile , under the night sky
Welcome to We Run At Night, a Washington, DC-based run club for nocturnal runners who find peace and strength under the cover of darkness. Running at night offers a unique and rejuvenating experience—free from the distractions of the day and the city’s hustle. It’s a time to reset, reconnect, and prioritize your mental and physical well-being.
At We Run At Night, we believe in the power of movement to not only improve physical health but also to strengthen connections. By running together, we push each other to new heights and create lasting bonds of support and encouragement.
But our mission extends beyond the pavement. We’re dedicated to giving back by supporting initiatives that create opportunities and provide resources for underserved communities. Through event-specific activities, charity runs, and outreach, we aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others while fostering a sense of purpose and unity.
Whether you’re here to improve your health, build community, or contribute to a greater cause, we welcome you. Join us for our next run, and let’s move forward together—step by step, mile by mile.

Friday night runs-- Move different, connect deeper
coming soon
Track night
Friday nights hit differently with We Run At Night. These aren’t your typical weekly runs—they’re an experience. A chance to close out the workweek, shake off the stress, and hit the streets of DC with a vibrant, growing community.
We meet at The Thompson Hotel in Navy Yard, covering 3.5–5 miles at your own pace before unwinding with beverages and bites in our clubhouse lobby. Whether you’re training, looking for a new Friday night vibe, or just want to move with like-minded people, this is your space.
Stay tuned for our next Friday Night Run—each one is an event you won’t want to miss!
