About Us

Every day is day one

We believe running is more powerful when we do it together.

day one Run was born from a simple observation: running had become too isolated, too competitive, too focused on metrics and PRs. We wanted to bring back the joy, the community, the human connection.

Meet The Founder

Alvaro Martinez

"I started running alone in 2018. By 2024, I had run dozens of marathons, but something was missing. The achievement felt hollow without people to share it with."

After moving to Berlin, Alvaro organized his first community run with just 5 friends. Word spread quickly. Within months, hundreds were showing up every week.

Today, day one Run operates in 48 cities across Europe, bringing together thousands of runners who believe that the journey is better when traveled together.

What Drives Us

Inclusivity

Every pace is welcome. Whether you're running your first kilometer or your thousandth, there's a place for you in our community. We celebrate progress, not perfection.

Connection

Running brings us together, but friendship keeps us coming back. We believe the relationships built on our runs are just as important as the miles logged.

Growth

Every day is day one. We encourage continuous improvement, self-discovery, and pushing boundaries—but always at your own pace and on your own terms.

Joy

Running should feel good. We focus on the experience, the scenery, the conversation, and the simple pleasure of moving our bodies together.
