Run clubs are becoming the new nightclubs for young people 🏃‍♂️⁠ ⁠ Gen Z are increasingly turning to fitness to socialise, make friends and even find relationships, with research finding they're four times more likely to want to meet someone through exercise than on a night out.⁠ ⁠ And it's not just about finding a running mate. Nearly one in five Gen Z respondents said they'd actually been on a date with someone they met through exercise.⁠ ⁠ Separate UK research paints a similar picture, with 15% of 18 to 29-year-olds saying they'd prefer to meet a potential partner at a gym or fitness group, compared with 13% who chose a bar or nightclub.⁠ ⁠ Run clubs have become such a social phenomenon that Strava has even dubbed them the new “nightclubs”, as groups built around running continue to grow.⁠ ⁠ Getting a 5K PB and potentially meeting the love of your life isn't a bad Saturday morning 🙌⁠ ⁠ #runclub #pub #ladbible
