Founded in May 2024, runclub5000 has quickly become a vibrant running community in Aarau, a city known for its intimate size and welcoming spirit. Named after Aarau’s postal code, the crew began with a small group of friends determined to create a space where running is about connection rather than competition. They gather regularly at Markthalle Aarau, their home base, to enjoy easy to moderate runs through the city’s scenic parks and riverside trails. The crew embraces runners of all abilities, fostering an atmosphere of encouragement, steady progress, and friendship. By anchoring Aarau’s modest running scene with consistent weekly events and community support, runclub5000 reflects the city’s close-knit character and charm. Their inclusive philosophy celebrates running as a shared experience, inviting anyone eager to move and connect to join their growing family.

runBADEN, founded in August 2025 by friends Jamie and Simon in Baden, Switzerland, has grown from a first run with 46 participants into a vibrant community of around 400 members.
