“A massive thank you to everyone who joined us for our London launch last night — what an incredible way to kick things off! The energy, the vibes, the community... it was everything we hoped for and more.
For those who weren’t selected in the ballot or couldn’t make it this time — don’t worry. We’ve got more runs coming soon, and many of them will be open to everyone. This is just the beginning of Defected Run Club, and we’re so excited to have you along for the journey.” - Jason Luke, Run Club Captain
"As a fitness enthusiast working within the music industry, starting something like Defected Run Club has been a dream of mine for a long time. To see it finally come to life and to watch so many people come together for our first run was honestly emotional.
It reminded me how powerful community can be when it's fuelled by music, movement, and good energy. I’m beyond excited for what’s to come and can’t wait to grow this into something truly special with everyone who joins us." – Katie Goodman, Head Of Digital @ Defected, Run Club Leader
