Considering joining a run club

Hey all,

Mid twenties male looking to expand my social circle in Durham. Born and raised here, but have lost touch with a lot of old friends and am looking to expand my social circles a bit as an adult, which I’m finding very difficult.

I’ve been told run clubs are a good way to meet people but right now I’m pretty terrible at running. Probably a 11 or 12 min mile right now if I really tried. I have a girlfriend so am not trying to just hook up with, which I’ve heard is a common issue lol. Are there any you all recommend? I am currently busy Tuesday and Wednesday nights (I play pool league) as well as Saturday mornings, but would be open for another time slot. Any have any recommendations or experiences with any of the local clubs? Or any other local activities or clubs to try and make new friends?
