Our story
Where it started
It started in 2022 with a passion for running, a love of doing things together and a wish to connect people through movement. One easy morning run in Helsinki, open to anyone, turned into a weekly routine that has moved people ever since. That feeling of showing up together still drives everything we make.
Made in-house
Everything is conceived, designed and produced by our own team, from concept and visual identity to photo, film and the event itself. For partners that means one team from first idea to last photo, and an audience that is already there.
