Midnight Runners began when a couple of friends went for a late-night run with a small speaker. A year later, 100+ people were gathering every week. We added exercise stops to keep everyone together and up the sweat. And as our legs got faster, the speakers got louder and the friendships got stronger.
We now run in cities all over the world and invite everyone to join us. From Buenos Aires to Berlin, San Francisco to Sydney, we truly are a global community and when you join one city you are part of all of them.

Running Redefined...
The Bootcamp Run is the best example of embodying the Midnight Runners ethos. This is the original event format that founded this community.
We cover 5-10km (3-6 miles) total but never run more than 2km in one go. We break up each section with a body weight exercise stop, to regroup and meet new people. Did we mention that we play loud music from the front to the back of our moving flash mob?
Whether you're first or last, we don't care - we want to bring people together and that's all that matters. Fitness is only the first half, we strongly encourage everyone to come back to the bar afterwards to share in a drink and a conversation with the people who've just worked out with.
We believe Midnight Runners is as much about meeting people as it is about fitness so come join us!
Why just run when you can party afterwards?
Gather your friends, match your outfits with the theme of the event and get ready to run in style.
We usually cover a shorter distance so we have plenty of time for the "second half" of our special events: the party! Think DJ, drinks, and dancing till the venue closes.
The Midnight Runners Party Runs have become (in)famous for always being a good time and nights to remember.
Midnight Runners is a volunteer-led run crew built, organised, owned, and made awesome by the incredible people you can find on your city page. In each city there are individuals who have stepped up to help steer, guide and advise on all things Midnight Runners. They make up our board members.
Midnight Runners is supported by these awesome staff members, who make the magic happen behind the scenes. We call them Crew Support as they are here to lift up, support and bring the best example of what Midnight Runners is to every crew around the world.
If you see one of them at an event, thank them for keeping the Midnight Runners motor running:
