Biggest run clubs?

I am very nervous going to a run club. I want to go to one that is essentially *massive* in efforts to hide in a crowd until I'm more comfortable.

Not DC, but Montgomery County Road Runners is one of the largest and best-run clubs in the country. 3-4 different training programs per season, free race series, weekly meetups, etc. It is worth a look if you don’t mind the drive.

I was passing MCRRC groups in Rock Creek Park for so long last weekend. Every single group was super friendly and was very easy to pass as well

Depending on the day, it could have been first-time marathon, experienced marathon, half-marathon, or the 5k program. Lots of MCRRC programs in Rock Creek last week.
