A co-ed 501(c)3 non-profit running club established to provide a community of support for all those adversely affected by addiction.

The Boston Bulldogs Running Club are a co-ed 501(c)3 non-profit running club established to provide an anonymous and safe community of wellness and support for all those adversely affected by addiction - those in recovery, their families and friends, the clinical community and the community at large.

The Club promotes an integrated approach to wellness and self-leadership in recovery on a journey to discover the kind-hearted warrior and true potential within each of us. The Bulldogs have a history dating back to 2008 when the Club was established by Coach Mike Ferullo, as the HopeFound Bulldogs at the Shattuck Hospital shelter. The Club was adopted by Pine Street Inn in 2012 to provide members with the opportunity to participate in a positive social and wellness program supporting their recovery. Now, the Boston Bulldogs Running Club has been reinvented as an independent entity to offer support to those battling all forms of addiction, as well as their friends, family and supporters, across greater Boston. We welcome and encourage runners (and walkers) of all levels – dreamers, beginners, as well as those with running experience, past or present. Our volunteers will be there to coach and encourage you whatever your current level, and help you set and meet your wellness goals. We can provide help with running gear and transportation if needed. We meet twice weekly at the Reservoir (Cleveland Circle/Reservoir Green Line C or D train) - on Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm and Saturday mornings at 9:00 am. Quincy runs meet on Monday nights at 6:30pm in front of Thomas Crane library.

Our South Shore chapter of the Bulldogs meets weekly at Nelson Memorial Park on Nelson Street in Plymouth, MA - Tuesdays evenings at 6:30 pm (or at Marathon Sports in Plymouth between 12/1 - 3/31). Finally, our newest chapter of the Bulldogs in Worcester, MA meets on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM at Lake Quinsigamond State Park (or at Sneakerama on Lake St between 12/1 - 3/31). Sunday Trail Runs at 8:30 AM take place at various locations - check our website for more info.
