Our Origin Story

Ruso Run Club was founded by a group of friends who wanted to create a community where people could connect, build friendships, and improve their fitness together.

What started as a small gathering of friends has grown into a thriving community of 150-250 runners who meet every Saturday morning. Our growth has been organic, fueled by the genuine connections formed during our runs.

Today, RUSO is more than just a run club, it's a brand that brings people together through fitness and wellness.

What "Run-Social" Means

RUSO stands for Run-Social.

The "RU" in RUSO

Running is the activity that brings us together. We believe that running is for everyone, regardless of pace or experience. Our routes accommodate all fitness levels, 2k (1.3 miles) and 5k (3 miles). We encourage each person to run at their own comfortable pace.

The "SO" in RUSO

Social is the heart of our community. After each run, we gather to connect, build friendships, and discover cool brands. People love gathering with like-minded people because it creates a sense of belonging, shared energy, and mutual understanding.

Our Culture

At RUSO, we've cultivated a culture that's welcoming, inclusive, and supportive. We believe that everyone has a place in our community, regardless of their fitness level.

Our core values include:

  • Inclusivity: We welcome people of all abilities, backgrounds, and experiences.
  • Community: We foster genuine connections and friendships among our members.
  • Support: We encourage and motivate each other to achieve personal goals.
  • Fun: We believe fitness should be enjoyable and social.

These values have shaped RUSO into the vibrant community it is today, and they continue to guide our growth and evolution.
