Re:Connect

We're way more than just another run club. We're building something different here! A space where people can actually connect again instead of just scrolling through life. You know that feeling when you're constantly online but somehow more disconnected than ever? Yeah, we're the antidote to that. What we're about: Real conversations, good music, and getting outside. We run through Rotterdam at a chill, social pace, hitting up all the cool spots and finding new corners of the city most people walk right past. Our runs: Most of our regular runs are easy-paced and social, but we mix it up. We keep tabs on local races happening around Rotterdam and the Netherlands, so when there's something cool coming up, we'll throw in some interval sessions or organize pre-race meetups for anyone training for the same event. And here's something new we're excited about: we're slowly introducing beginner-friendly cycling meetups too. Think zone 2 training or endurance rides where we can chat while we pedal. Perfect for building that aerobic base without the intensity, just good company and steady miles. Who can join: Literally everyone. Doesn't matter if you're fast, slow, or haven't run since high school. Same goes for cycling.. if you've got a bike and want to stay at a chill speed, you're in. No judgment here, just good people moving together. The vibe is simple: we run (or ride), we listen to solid playlists, and if we end up near a decent café or bar afterward, we grab drinks and actually talk to each other. Why I started this: Having studied Social Work at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, I see daily how isolated people have become. But I also see what happens when we consistently show up for each other.. Spoiler: it's pretty incredible. Re:Connect isn’t just my thing.. it's our thing. Got ideas for local spots we should hit? Songs that need to be on our playlist? Know about a race we should train for together? Want to collaborate on something creative? Let's make it happen. The goal is bigger than just running or cycling. We're turning these streets into places where real connection happens, where you remember what it feels like to be present and part of something.
