The club mixes fitness with a party-like community atmosphere, and events are organized through Heylo with locations that can vary by week.
Running Junkies
Amsterdam-based running crew that blends running with social connection, dinner, travel, and cheering for races. The club is community-focused and organized around a weekly Tuesday social run and dinner, with pace groups so runners can split up after starting together.
Vondelpark Runners
A community run crew established in 2020 in Vondelpark. The club appears to focus on weekly social running, with a simple, welcoming format centered on regular meetup runs rather than competition.
