Who We Are at R3 Run Club

R3 Run Club was created from a real and relatable journey. One rooted in growth, self doubt, and the decision to keep moving forward anyway.

The foundation of R3 began in 2023, during a personal health journey that included healthier habits and running as a form of movement. Progress was happening, but doubt still lingered. Even with consistency and improvement, the question remained: What truly makes someone a runner? That feeling is familiar to many, especially when surrounded by images of highly athletic and traditionally fit runners.

As more races were explored, virtual races and challenges stood out. They offered something different. Freedom. Flexibility. The ability to move without pressure or comparison. Virtual events allowed participation on any schedule, in any location, and at any pace. They created space to focus on movement rather than performance, while still earning the satisfaction of completing a challenge and celebrating the effort.

Over time, confidence grew. It became clear that support, encouragement, and community matter just as much as miles or finish times. Movement itself is a pace. A slow run is still a run. Showing up counts.

That realization led to the birth of R3 Run Club in 2025.

R3 stands for Resilient, Relentless, Revolutionary. Not as a measure of speed or skill, but as a mindset. Resilient enough to start. Relentless enough to continue. Revolutionary enough to redefine what running looks like.

R3 Run Club was built to be an inclusive, pressure free community where runners and walkers of all backgrounds feel safe, supported, and encouraged. A place where confidence can grow, self doubt can quiet down, and progress will always be celebrated, no matter the pace.

What started as a single journey has grown into a shared mission. To inspire movement at any pace. To build confidence through consistency. And to create a community where everyone belongs exactly as they are.

This is only the beginning. And every step forward matters.
