“If you run, you’re a runner.”
You’ve probably heard this famous quote from American author and runner, John Bingham. This quote has been echoed through generations of runners, and for good reason. It reminds us that you don’t need to meet a list of prerequisites to be considered a runner, save one; you just have to run.
And it’s through this principle that the Journey Run Club operates. As you may know, JRC had a successful launch on December 2nd, 2023, and we’re aiming to kickstart our weekly runs this Monday, January 8th, 2024! That’s right, folks: JRC is back and here to stay. Our runs will be mainly led by myself, but you’ll definitely see plenty of familiar faces from the Journey team and overall community joining in on the runs.
As we want to welcome all levels of runners, we’re going to kick this off at a beginner-friendly pace of around 8:30/KM (you can opt for a brisk walk as well if that’s your cup of tea!). The route/venue/distance will change over time as we continue to gauge the attendance and general level of runners.
We’re also looking for more experienced runners to be JRC Ambassadors who can help with pacing! If you’re interested, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me via email (shakeel@journey-ours.com) or when you see me around the studio. Don’t be shy to flag me down; I'm a very friendly guy (I promise).
