At its core, group running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the other with others. It's about connecting with people and making tjoms who share a common appreciation for the sport. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or a beginner taking your first steps, we’re here to welcome you with open arms. And here's why we think it’s important:
1. MORE MOTIVATION
Running alone can be hard and easier to lose motivation when there's no one to share your goals and progress with. Running with a crew means you’re showing up for a run for more than just yourself. People look forward to having you there, and that’s a powerful motivator to lace up and get it done.
2. CREATE CONNECTION
When sharing kilometres, a unique bond between people forms. Whether it’s the stories, the shared journey of moving your feet, or even the vulnerability in seeing a person go out and achieve something (if you’ve crewed an ultra, you’ll know this), there’s a special something that forms.
3. POSITIVE PEER PRESSURE
When you go alone, you’re more restricted by your mental barriers than you might know. If you run with others - and push yourself in a session - there’s a positive peer pressure that unlocks new levels that you might not have thought possible.
4. UNIQUE UNDERSTANDING
In a social running group, knowledge and experience are freely shared. You’ll always get more experienced runners who can offer valuable advice on training, nutrition, gear, and injury prevention during the run. This information-sharing is hugely valuable for runners to passively learn from those who've been there before.
