Forget brunch dates - running clubs are the new craze! But is Auckland’s running boom just a trend, or is it here to stay?
As the city’s streets fill with runners from dawn till dusk, it’s clear that something special is happening. Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram have been huge contributors to running’s popularity, romanticising the ‘running aesthetic' especially among young women, and the post-pandemic fever has only fuelled our desire to get out there and connect with others.
Here are some fun and unique clubs we’ve curated just for you, offering inclusive spaces for runners of all abilities to get you motivated and moving:
Rise with the sun and join the 445 Run Club , where early birds unite for a morning of running, walking or jogging. From humble beginnings, it now boasts a community of over 300 participants... in Auckland alone! Follow up with coffee, ocean swim, and chats with like-minded people - perfect way to kick-start your day!
Run4Auckland offers a social running experience for all fitness levels, where you can meet people and have fun! They host special events like treasure hunts, collaborations and yoga, complete with lots of free goodies, because who doesn’t love a sweet treat? A great way to spend a Sunday morning with your besties, or make new connections.
By the girls, for the girls! Femmi offers fun, social and non-competitive running in a safe, supportive environment. Perfect for building friendships and connecting with other girls while improving fitness without all the awkwardness.
Rave kings and queens, this one's for you! Balance Run Club combines runs with social gatherings at eateries, bars, and even hit the dance floors at festivals and concerts together! Looking for your rave-runner soulmate? TikTok’s dubbed running clubs the “new Hinge” and the Balance Run Club might just be the sign you’ve been waiting for..
Auckland’s running scene offers a journey that's more than just fitness - it's about connection, growth and finding your people. Whether you’re chasing sunrises, a social runner, looking for more girl besties or love a fun night out, there's a place for everyone to thrive!
