What we’re about
Making friends as an adult shouldn’t be this hard, that’s why we started DFW Young & Social! This group is all about making it easier to meet new people, try new things, and build real connections. No membership fees, no pressure. Just fun, welcoming events where you can show up, be yourself, and connect with great people.

See all- DFWYAS Social Run ClubBirds Fort Trail Park, Irving, TX
Looking for a great way to start your Sunday? Member Rushil is hosting a weekly Run Club for the club, and you’re invited! Whether you're a runner, a jogger, or just looking for a casual morning walk, this is a chance to move, enjoy the fresh air, and connect with others.
This is a pet-friendly event, and you're welcome to bring your dog or cat along at your own risk. Just make sure pets stay leashed, are well-behaved and non-aggressive, and that you're responsible for their actions throughout the event.
📍 Location: Bird’s Fort Trail Park (Image map provided!)
🕗 8:45 AM – Meet Up & Warm Up (Stretch, chat, and get ready to go!)
🏃 9:00 AM – Run Begins (Set your own pace—run, jog, or walk!)
⌛ 10:00 AM – Official End Time (Feel free to continue if you’d like!)Post-Run Coffee Social – After the run, we’ll head to a nearby coffee shop for a relaxed hangout. If you’d rather skip the run and meet us for coffee, that works too!
This is an out-and-back route, meaning we’ll be following the same path both ways. Since this trail is popular with runners, walkers, and cyclists, please be mindful of your surroundings and share the path.
### What to Bring:
👟 Comfortable running shoes
💧 Water to stay hydrated
🕶️ Sunglasses or a hat for the sun
✨ A good attitude (and maybe an appetite for coffee after!)While the event is free, donations are appreciated to help support the community and allow us to continue offering free events. Contribute what you can and help us spread the joy of community! You can donate on our website donate section.
