Tempelhofer Feld parkrun

Gegen Running grew out of Gegenpresse, a Berlin football community built on weekly matches and a shared magazine. When the crew laced up running shoes, they brought their friendships with them. Founded in June 2024, Gegen Running is rooted in genuine connection, where strangers become teammates and teammates become friends, one run at a time. They gather at Tempelhofer Feld, Berlin's iconic open space, bringing a philosophy that blends football, running, creativity, and cold drinks after every session. This is a crew of friends who show up for each other, not just for the sport. Open to everyone, Gegen Running proves that the best runs happen when community comes first.

division:bpm was born in Berlin in November 2021 when founders Collin and Luizza started running together during Covid lockdowns, seeking fresh air and connection. What began between two friends quickly grew into a tight community of around 40 members united by movement, acceptance, and mutual support. The crew gathers every Sunday at Isla Coffee Berlin for a sociable 10-kilometre run through one of Europe's most compelling cities. They call themselves Sportsfreunde, friends bound by a simple philosophy: running is a rhythm shared freely, with no fees, no barriers, just people showing up and going the distance together. The vibe is open, grounded, and genuinely warm.

Fierce Run Force emerged from Berlin in June 2022 when Steffi, a former two-time German 1500m champion, transformed an injury into a movement. What started as a question about how women train evolved into Germany's first women's running club offering cycle-oriented training. Around thirty women of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels gather every week, united by a philosophy of visibility, gender equality, and education. There are no pace gates, no hierarchy, just honest support and a culture that celebrates every woman finding her stride. Every Thursday at 18:30, the crew takes to Berlin's streets, from the Tiergarten to the Spree riverbank, running for something far bigger than distance.

The Fresh Patterns Collective was born in October 2021 when Aaron, a lifelong runner with over two decades of experience, founded the crew with a simple goal: to show people what movement can do for them. Based in Berlin, the collective has grown to around 40 members who gather weekly to embrace a philosophy that extends far beyond running. Here, running is one pattern among many. Strength, yoga, creativity, and community form the backbone of the programme. There's no judgement, no minimum pace required, just a warm and genuinely supportive space where first-timers and marathoners alike find their place.
