Founders Running Club Austin is the local chapter of a global community connecting founders, operators and investors through running and shared experiences. Each Saturday at 8:00 a.m., members gather at Lady Bird Lake to walk or run at their own pace, choosing routes of two miles, 5K or 10K. The weekly meetup combines introductions and time on Austin’s scenic trails with coffee and conversation afterward at Afuga Coffee. No running experience is required, and all paces are welcome.

Beyond its regular runs, FRC Austin organizes founder-focused events, dinners and meetups, and helps members find co-working companions and buddies for local events. Its Founders Helping Founders group offers a place to seek introductions, advice and support, while partners provide free tax and accounting guidance. The chapter also welcomes potential sponsors and hosts events with partners. Members can connect through WhatsApp and social channels, RSVP online, or purchase FRC merchandise. Austin is part of a worldwide network of more than 50,000 members across 55-plus cities, bringing people together to run, build relationships and grow their work.
