Muldooniacs Running Club
Wednesdays, 6 p.m.Sports & Recreation
You get a free margarita each time you participate in the weekly 5K or 10K with the Muldooniacs Running Club (5710 S. Carefree Circle, josemuldoons.com). But if that isn't enough incentive to join this newly formed group, wait until you've run 12 times, and you'll get a T-shirt that's almost magical: It'll earn you a free margarita whenever you visit either José Muldoon's — east-side or downtown. So grab your running shoes and your friends and head to José's between 5 and 6 p.m. for an outing on the nearby Homestead Trail. — Ellie Cole
SouthSide Johnny's Running Club

Watch CrossFit run at SouthSide Johnny's (528 S. Tejon St., crossfitsoco.com), where crazed athletic-types meet to traverse a roughly three-mile route — hitting America the Beautiful Park, Fountain Creek and CrossFit SoCo's main location on West Las Vegas Street — then back up South Tejon for grub and drink specials, as official members of the new, hybrid SouthSide Johnny's Running Club. See CrossFit at 6 tonight, and find it every Wednesday night thereafter, running — run CrossFit, run. — Bryce Crawford

Waltz Lessons

Richard Roxburgh, the actor best known as the icky Duke from Moulin Rouge!, had this to say about his experience dancing: "My most difficult thing so far, to be brutally honest, has been to waltz as if I knew what I was doing." But according to the Broadmoor Waltz Club, you can learn, and succeed, with some basics and good ol' fashioned practice. Interested? The group's giving a free lesson from 6:30 to 7:30 tonight at Austin Bluffs Community Church (5090 Austin Bluffs Pkwy., broadmoorwaltzclub.com).
