Gegen Running, founded in June 2024 in Berlin, evolved from the Gegenpresse community, a group originally bonded by football and creativity, into a lively running and lifestyle crew. Rooted in longstanding friendships, the small, inclusive group meets weekly at Tempelhofer Feld, a sprawling urban park that perfectly combines Berlin’s energetic city vibe with open green space. Their runs, usually at easy to medium paces, emphasize enjoyment and social connection rather than competition. More than just a running group, Gegen Running cultivates a creative, supportive environment where newcomers are warmly welcomed, reflecting their values of openness and camaraderie. This close-knit community balances physical activity with shared conversations and friendship, embodying Berlin’s diverse urban spirit. By blending sport, creativity, and social engagement, Gegen Running stands out as a unique part of the city’s rich running culture, inviting anyone interested in a genuine, friendly running experience to join in.

KRAFT Runners are a high-energy running crew that has become a cornerstone of the Berlin running scene. Born from the city's original NIKE+ Run Club pacers, the crew is built around the raw, energetic philosophy of '#geilballern'—a call to push personal limits with infectious enthusiasm. Their legendary weekly workout, the '#geilballern-Tuesday', brings together a massive, inclusive crowd in the Friedrichshain neighborhood for a session that is famously free and open to all. While they have now expanded to cities worldwide, their gritty, fun-loving spirit remains a true reflection of their Berlin roots.

Run Pack Berlin is a remarkable and influential running crew that has been a cornerstone of the Berlin, Germany, running scene since March 2013. Born when a group of six "rebel runners" were cast aside by a sponsor, they decided to form their own community inspired by the legendary Rat Pack. Their philosophy is that "the runners make the run," prioritizing fun, friendship, and social connection above all else. They are famous for their vibrant weekly runs, their unique "Bärendogge" logo, and their legendary, high-energy cheer zone at the Berlin Marathon.
