Running with Rhyme and Peace Finding Joy on Jakarta Streets
Running with Rhyme and Peace emerged from a simple idea in August 2023, when a small circle of friends in Jakarta sought refuge from the city's relentless pace through shared runs. By January 2024, founders opened the doors to everyone, and today about 30 runners gather regularly under city lights or catch sunrise together. Their philosophy is straightforward: running is happiness, built on shared energy, open roads, and a welcoming pace where all are welcome. Whether it's Thursday nights starting at Kopi Api Coffee Roasters in Cikini or Sunday mornings at Gelora Bung Karno at 5am, the crew maintains one consistent feeling, rooted in safety and inclusion.
