Marathon Sports does a weekly run group that is awesome for people who are mostly looking to have a good, casual time. They have a few locations--I used to go to the one in Brookline in Washington Square.

I'll also second Pioneers Run Crew and also throw in Forest Hills Runners as a very welcoming group.

If you're looking for a casual 5k for runners and walkers of every ability, you can go to Jamaica Pond parkrun or Danehy Park parkrun, which happen on Saturday mornings at 9 AM almost every week of the year. Totally free, and they're timed.

Pioneers Run Crew is awesome! Weekly runs on Wednesday nights and constant events. Fun and diverse crew. Our captains are phenomenal. Definitely a great place for beginners or runners at any level.

I like Heartbreak Hill Running Co and there are plenty of people of all abilities, but it does trend a bit faster

Somerville Road Runners, one of the oldest, if not the oldest. A great running group. Quite a festive bunch.

Trail Animals Running Club hosts group trail runs at the Blue Hills and puts on low cost races throughout the year near Boston.
