Paname Run Club

Paname Run Club

Paris, France

Paname Run Club (PRC) is Paris’s social running crew for all paces, all vibes, and all people. Founded in 2022, PRC turns the city into a playground with two signature weekly runs: the high-energy Mardisco Run on Tuesday nights — an 8 km party on the move with music and post-run DJ sets — and the laid-back Coffee Run on Sunday mornings, ending at one of Paris’s best cafés. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, you’ll find an inclusive, friendly community ready to welcome you. Scenic routes, great conversation, and unforgettable post-run hangs are all part of the experience.

Paris Running Club

Paris Running Club

Paris, France

Paris Running Club is a pioneering urban running crew founded in 2008 by Jay Smith alongside NIKELAB and Black Rainbow. Originally created to help beginners complete a 10K, it has evolved into a creative, energy-fueled community that celebrates Paris’s streets as its playground. Every Tuesday evening, runners gather in pace-defined groups (Cool, Mid, Hard) from iconic urban hubs like NIKELAB, weaving through the city’s architecture, riversides, and illuminated boulevards. With around 130 active members, PRC is less about speed and more about vibrancy—high-energy runs, inclusive vibes, and a passion for blending movement with city culture.

Night run clubs illuminate the darkness with reflective gear, headlamps, and collective energy. These nocturnal communities thrive after sunset, transforming familiar routes into mysterious adventures. The best night clubs prioritize safety through visibility, buddy systems, and well-lit routes while maintaining the thrill of running under stars. Night running attracts diverse members: shift workers, busy parents, heat-avoiders, and those who simply prefer the calm that darkness brings. These clubs master logistics – organizing proper lighting, choosing safe routes, and ensuring everyone gets home safely. The night running experience differs fundamentally from daylight runs; sounds are amplified, senses heightened, and the usual distractions fade away. Many clubs incorporate themed runs like full moon adventures, holiday light tours, or glow-in-the-dark events. The intimate atmosphere of night running creates deeper connections – there's something about running through darkness together that builds trust and camaraderie. Night clubs often develop strong cultures around post-run gatherings, whether at 24-hour diners, late-night food trucks, or members' homes. They prove that running doesn't stop when the sun goes down; it simply transforms into something different, something special. For many, night running becomes a form of moving meditation, a way to process the day and prepare for tomorrow.
