No. Browsing crews, searching runs, using tools, and listing your crew is completely free. Our mission is to connect the global running community without barriers.

All kinds: urban street crews, trail groups, track clubs, and everything in between. Each crew has its own vibe, philosophy, and style of running. We also list virtual and hybrid communities.

Finding Crews

(4)
How do I contact a specific running crew?
We are a platform, not a crew, so we can't answer questions about specific meetups, registrations, or events. The fastest way to reach a crew is through their Instagram DMs. You'll find their @handle on their profile page in our Crew Directory. Just search for the crew name or city at /crews.

Of course. Contact us with the updated details and we'll make sure your listing stays current. We're also working on a self-service captain dashboard so you'll be able to manage your own profile directly. Stay tuned.
