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.

Weekend warrior run clubs celebrate the philosophy of maximizing limited training time, creating communities of busy professionals who compress their fitness into weekend adventures. These groups understand that not everyone can run daily but that weekend dedication can maintain fitness and build strong communities. The best weekend warrior clubs optimize every session, combining longer distances with social experiences that make weekend running the highlight of the week. The structure typically involves longer weekend runs that serve as both training and social events, often exploring new routes, destinations, or incorporating adventure elements that make limited training time feel special. Many clubs organize weekend getaways, destination runs, or multi-activity days that combine running with hiking, swimming, or cultural experiences. The commitment level creates tight-knit communities bonded by shared weekend priorities. Weekend warrior clubs attract busy professionals, parents with limited weekday time, and anyone who prefers concentrated training over daily routine. The weekend focus often leads to higher adventure quotient and stronger social bonds, as members have more time for extended post-run activities. Many clubs become crucial accountability systems for maintaining fitness despite busy lifestyles, proving that consistency matters more than frequency in building both fitness and community.
