M&K Running
Copenhagen Running Collective fueled by the Mad & Kaffe café brand. A non-profit, community-focused running group that welcomes runners of all levels for a mix of speed work, social runs, morning café runs and weekly long runs. Runs are organized around Mad & Kaffe cafés (primary start at Mad & Kaffe Vesterbro) and sign-ups/updates are handled via the link in their Instagram bio. Long-term participants can apply for an “Insider” status after roughly six months.
Mikkeller Running Club
A social running club started in Copenhagen by Mikkel Bjergsø over 10 years ago. MRC is now a global, chapter-based community (100+ chapters) focused on inclusive, no‑drop social runs followed by beers at local bars/breweries. Membership and chapter info are managed via the Mikkeller Running Club app (members receive a membership card and bar/partner discounts); chapter schedules and formats vary by city (short social runs, pace groups, intervals, monthly longer runs, etc.).
