MOVIMENTO GHETTO RUN CREW
About MOVIMENTO GHETTO RUN CREW
A street-running movement rooted in Rio de Janeiro's Zona Norte, blending running with hip-hop, graffiti, samba, skate, and peripheral urban culture. It is more than a workout group: it is a community-driven counterculture that uses running as a tool for identity, visibility, safety, and reclaiming public space. The crew was founded in 2013 and is especially associated with night runs and a strong local culture.
