What Sets us Apart?

🥇 No Pressure to be Fast at all

No specific pace is required to join us. Our groups generally run at an 8:30 to 10:00 min/km pace, focusing on building your confidence first—speed will come with time.

🥇 We Start Slow & Build up Gradually

Your first run with us starts with intervals: 30 seconds of running & 1 minute of walking. You'll gradually build up & by the end of the program, you'll be running a full 5km.

🥇 We Support you in & out of the Program

Our coaches are always here for you. Need advice on new shoes? We’ve got you covered. Missed a session? We’ll send it over so you can catch up on your own. We’re in this together.

🥇 Each Program is led by a Dedicated Coach

Our coaches run alongside you and the group, ensuring your form is right, your breathing is on point, and offering guidance every step of the way with unwavering support.
