Built by runners,
for runners.
Connecting you to your run club, your city, your people. We curate in-person experiences through brand partnerships and standalone events, alongside a digital platform documenting run clubs, running culture, and the stories behind them, so you're always in the loop on the running world around you.
In May 2023, Lauren signed up for the Million Reasons Run and pledged to run 31km over 31 days. It became a daily habit, carrying her into her first half marathon at the 2023 Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon.
After the race, she wanted to find a run club. Clubs were scattered, answers were difficult to find, and she initially assumed they were all paid. Eventually, she found a 6am Friday run, now known as Curre Club, and learned about a dozen other clubs through the runners around her.
She shared a list of Toronto run clubs on Instagram. The comments kept adding more. Instagram could not hold all that information, so the list needed a real home. She liked the pun, found the domain, and knew it was a project worth taking on.
A Running List was built knowing that run clubs are some of the most welcoming communities out there, but getting to one is rarely simple. Starting something new is daunting. Every unknown, whether a club still runs, what it costs, or where to start, is one more reason to stay home.
We wanted to close the gap between wanting to run and actually showing up. A Running List curates events and connects people to the clubs that make running about so much more than running.
Our mission is to make the people you meet, the cities you get to see, and the doors running opens as welcoming and easy to access as possible. Let this be the start.
Your run club
We make run clubs easier to find, understand, and join so fewer unknowns stand between wanting to run and actually showing up.
Your city
We curate in-person experiences and document the clubs, culture, and stories shaping the running world around you.
Your people
Running is about more than running. It is the people you meet, the places you see, and the doors that open along the way.
