Penang City Running Runners started in August 2018 when founder Dion searched for a social running crew in Penang and found none, so he created one. No registration, no fees, just runners showing up to move together. Today, about 30 people from all walks of life gather week after week in this welcoming community. The crew's philosophy is simple but powerful: running changes lives. Beyond the sport, Penang City Running Runners exists to connect members, motivate each other, and grow as one. Every Wednesday at 8:30 pm beside the Jazz Hotel in Tanjung Tokong, the door stays open for anyone curious enough to lace up and join the movement.
