Easy Running Club
See full details3:48 p.m.
Every Sunday at 7 a.m., something quiet happens on the Chaquiñán.
No starting gun. No chip timing. No one checking their watch to see if they're fast enough. Just a small group of people moving through an old railway trail in Cumbayá, Ecuador — gravel underfoot, eucalyptus overhead, the valley still half-asleep around them.
Easy Running Club was born here, on this trail, out of a simple frustration: running had been sold wrong. Packaged as punishment. Measured in PRs. Built around performance anxiety instead of something worth actually showing up for. Rodrigo started ERC in June 2026 because he believed it could be something different — a ritual, not a workout. A tribe, not a training group.
The crew is a mix of people who've been running for years and people who are just starting. What they share isn't a pace — it's a mentality. Zone 2 is the foundation: intentional, aerobic, sustainable. Hard enough to build something real. Easy enough to have a conversation through. Tempos when it's time. Trail when it calls. The Chaquiñán's elevation changes, eucalyptus groves, and open stretches become the backdrop for something that goes well beyond fitness.
Membership is free. Always. Because what they're building isn't a service — it's a community. The Founding 100 are the people who showed up first, when there was nothing to prove yet. Their numbers are permanent. Not purchased. Just run.
And after every run, coffee. Not as a reward — as the ritual that turns a group of runners into something more. Where the conversation that started at kilometer three continues over a flat white. Where new members stop feeling new. Where the tribe actually becomes one.
If you've never heard of them, you're about to want to move to Quito.
