In a nutshell, you meet, say hello, then everyone fires off together, but people run at their own pace. Itโs totally up to you whether or not you run as part of a small group or prefer to go solo! You donโt need to run every day... the idea is that whenever you do decide to run, there will be enough other crew members out there doing the same.

Crews are, and always will be, ๐๐ฅ๐๐
. They are more social than competitive, so donโt be put off if youโre new to running. That said, if youโre a keen runner looking to improve, thereโs nothing to stop you finding like-minded folks to help push each other on.

Our vision is to grow Early Bird Run Crew across New Zealand, to help as many people as possible set up run crews in their area and feel the benefits of running together.
