Run Wild Readers
Seasonal Book Club
Run Wild Readers brings together two of our favorite things: good books and great community!
The group meets monthly from September through March, with a different book selected for each gathering. Reads may include novels, memoirs, running-related stories, and other books that spark meaningful conversation and connection.
Come ready to chat, share your perspective, meet fellow RWM members, and connect beyond the miles. You don’t have to be a book club pro—or even finish every page—to join the conversation. Run Wild Readers is all about creating another welcoming space to gather, learn from one another, and enjoy a good story together.
Next Up:
Our next Run Wild Readers pick is Confessions of an Unlikely Runner by Dana Ayer!
Even better, this month’s book was suggested by a member through our Suggest a Book form! We love bringing your recommendations to life, so keep those suggestions coming. This funny, relatable memoir follows Dana’s unexpected journey into the world of running. From reluctantly signing up for races to tackling distances she never imagined, Dana shares the highs, lows, and hilarious moments that come with becoming a runner. It’s a refreshing reminder that you don’t have to be fast, competitive, or even particularly good at running to find joy in it!
We have 8 copies of Confessions of an Unlikely Runner available for Run Wild Missoula members. You can pick up a copy at the RWM office; first come first served. Email Cara to reserve a book.
Confessions of an Unlikely Runner Meeting Info:
Date: Thursday, December 3
Time: 6:00 PM
Location: Run Wild Missoula Office (125 E Main St.)
