Organizations in Montréal

YAMAJO Run Crew has been bringing Montreal together since March 2014, rooted in a straightforward belief: if you have a body, you are an athlete. Founded on the principle that no one gets left behind, the crew welcomes runners of every pace and background into their warm, inclusive community. Drawing from every corner of Montreal, YAMAJO operates with just one philosophy, no prerequisites, no pace requirements, just running as it should be. The crew hits the streets on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with Friday evening runs starting at Blackout Fitness MTL, making it the perfect way to close out the week alongside your people.

When a beloved running crew left Montreal's West End in 2023, Jason saw an opening. He founded de Grâce Running Collective that September, planting roots in the heart of NDG, a neighbourhood alive with character and community. What started as a response to a gap has grown into a tight-knit crew of around 25 runners, all paces and all backgrounds welcome. Built on openness and mutual encouragement, de Grâce Running Collective thrives on good vibes that feel genuine, not forced. Every Monday at 7:15 pm, runners gather at Parc Paul-Doyon for an 8 km recovery run through the neighborhood's tree-lined streets, a ritual that keeps the crew connected and grounded in one of Montreal's most distinctive corners.
