Begat Running Club

The track at Stade Universitaire is quiet at 18:45 on Wednesday evenings until Begat Running Club arrives. Clément and Arnaud founded the crew in May 2025, bringing together their knowledge from Begat, a sports nutrition brand for endurance athletes, with a vision for what Grenoble's runners needed: performance and community in equal measure. Coach Alex, a 31-minute 10K runner, leads structured track sessions while Saturday social runs cover medium to marathon distances at easy pace. Around fifty members now train under a live weekly program adapted to the group's fitness and calendar goals. What sets Begat apart is rigor without pretension: coaching that tracks every runner on the track, not just the fast ones, and post-run coffee that feels natural rather than obligatory. The crew trains year-round, Wednesday and Saturday, because commitment is what they model.
