There are a lot, depending where you live.

If you are midcoast to southern Maine, the Maine Track Club has regular runs and is the largest club in the state.

If you are fast, Dirigo has weekly runs. You do need to run fast enough to meet standards to join.

If you enjoy trails, Trail Monster Running usually has at least two group runs a week. Anybody is welcome to join TMR runs even if they aren't a member. Runs vary in location.

From the end of May through the end of August, the Weekly Back Cove 5k Series in Portland is every Wednesday night at 6pm. You pay once whether you run one race or all 14 (so keep your bib) and it's a good size crowd without being so huge you get lost, 150-250/wk. (Disclaimer: I'm one of the race directors for the series.)

Those are the groups in most involved with. There are others, you can search the rrca.org website for other clubs in the state, especially if you aren't in the Portland area. Crow Athletics, Thick Quad Squad, Eden Athletics, I know Portland has a regular Pub Run group, and I think Bangor might too?

Haven’t been to the new location on Congress in Portland but the old Arcadia, or “Barcadia”, was rad. I know you’re not into the bar scene but it’s a “bar” (former venue now) filled with tonnns of video games. From the earliest to the newest.

Someone correct me if the new spot isn’t representing the old spot, but I used to love that place.
