When I wear this shirt, I feel part of a tribe': how running club merch became a marker of cool
Briefly

A boom in casual, community-focused running clubs organizes turn-up-and-run events for socializing and supporting individuals' running journeys, providing an alternative to traditional clubs.
London's Runner Beans Club, along with other creatively named groups like Run Happy, Croissant Run Club, Freelancers Running Club, and Left Handed Giant Run Club, offer inclusive spaces for individuals seeking community without the pressure of performance.
These clubs aim to create a relaxed and convivial atmosphere, similar to the ethos of London's Run Dem Crew, which emphasizes bringing people together through running as a means of social connection rather than solely focusing on athletic pursuits.
