Boston Bulldogs Running Club

Boston Bulldogs Running Club 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 journe

y 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.

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, The Boston Bulldogs remember the lives lost to overdose, hold close the families and friends who carry their memory, and stand beside those navigating substance use and recovery.

We believe that wellness and meaningful connection are powerful parts of recovery, and the crucial need for creating spaces for people to heal, grow, and find strength in community.

On this International Overdose Awareness Day, and every day, The Boston Bulldogs commit to showing up with compassion, breaking down stigma, and continuing to build a community where everyone has a place to belong.

Overdose is preventable. Recovery is possible.
We remember. We support. We keep moving forward, together. 💜🐾

Join us in Plymouth on Tuesday, August 25th at 6:30pm for Sound Bowl Healing with Adrienne! An evening of relaxation and mindfulness: sound healing uses the tones and vibrations of singing bowls to create a calming, meditative experience - giving us a chance to slow down, and reconnect. As runners, we often base our wellness routine off of weekly mileage and strength training, but taking the time to slow down, get quiet, and reflect is just as important for our bodies and our recovery! Bring an open mind, and a yoga mat or towel to sit on! We’ll see you next week! 🐾

Cheered on by an incredible crowd filled with family, friends and fellow Bulldogs, 10 of our members took on the iconic 7 mile route at the 2026 Falmouth Road Race over the weekend! 🐾 🌊⚓️

Thank you to our 2026 Boston Bulldogs team for showing up, putting in the miles and fundraising to support the Bulldogs community. This year’s team collectively raised nearly $17,000 that will help us continue our mission of providing a safe, and supportive community for those adversely affected by addiction. We’d also like thank Falmouth Road Race, Inc. , for once again putting on an amazing race, and allowing us to join as a non-profit charity team again this year!
NEXT UP: The Bulldogs will be back in Falmouth for the Cape Cod Marathon, Half, Relay in October!! 🎉💪🏻 DM us if interested or for more info!

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

The Boston Bulldogs have just received a generous grant from The Hamilton Company Charitable Foundation to sustain our vibrant Junior Bulldogs Program!
Unlike traditional programs that simply teach youth to "just say no," Junior Bulldogs equips young people with lifelong tools for wellness and sobriety. Through running, exercise, and a supportive community, we help them:
🐾 Keep anxiety and depression at bay
🐾 Share thoughts and feelings in a safe environment
🐾 Connect with accomplished runners in recovery who inspire a positive way forward
Thank you, Hamilton Company Charitable Foundation! Your generous support directly impacts our club programs, and our community is deeply grateful for your partnership.
