The Creative Runners Club is an invitation to think about running a little differently. There is no registering for an account, or membership fee. There is just what you come up with, for yourself or to share as you wish.
The suggestions and ideas for your running on this site aren’t meant to feel weighty demands to squeeze more productivity out of yet another part of your day. It’s just an invitation to play.
Running with goals to run faster or further is amazing. I’m going to keep attempting PBs and I’m not telling you to stop if you don’t want to. But I have started thinking about my running a little differently.
In an interview with ultra runner and adventurer, Jenny Tough, she talked about how for most of us joining a big race we aren’t expecting to win. Why not make running into a creative pursuit instead sometimes?
That idea stuck with me and I wanted to share it further, so I created this site.
Creative running can mean many things, and you can share what you come up with #CreativeRunnersClub if you want to, but you can just enjoy your creative run yourself, however you chose.
The two rules are just there as a reminder that even when you run alone, you don’t run in isolation. If it’s a big organised race then there are other runners with their own goals, supporters and staff. If you are running a trail as a solo challenge or a training run, other people use that trail too.
Also, you don’t have to “run” to join our informal club either, and I don’t just mean that you could also walk or wheel. Supporters are part of running too. Volunteers and staff at events are part of running too.
Respect others, run, and go create.
