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.

Urban night run clubs transform cities after dark into adventure playgrounds, combining the safety of group running with the unique energy and beauty that cities offer at night. These specialized groups understand that urban night running provides experiences impossible during daylight - different lighting, reduced traffic, transformed atmospheres, and the thrill of seeing familiar places in new ways. The best urban night clubs prioritize safety while maximizing the unique adventures that darkness provides. The logistics involve careful route planning for safety and lighting, coordination of reflective gear and lights, and often partnerships with 24-hour businesses for post-run gatherings. Many clubs incorporate urban exploration elements, holiday light tours, or themed runs that take advantage of nighttime events and atmosphere. The safety-in-numbers approach allows exploration that solo night runners might avoid. Urban night clubs attract night owls, shift workers, urban explorers, and anyone fascinated by how cities transform after dark. The unique timing and urban focus create distinctive communities bonded by shared appreciation for nighttime city energy. Many clubs develop extensive knowledge of urban night life, safe routes, and hidden gems that only night runners discover. They prove that running doesn't stop when the sun sets - it simply transforms into something different and special.
