Our story
It started with one runner who kept quitting.
In 2014 our founder had a drawer full of half-finished training plans and not a single race photo. Running felt like a test she kept failing — too slow, too busy, too self-conscious to show up at a start line.
So she made a deal with herself: pick a distance, run it anywhere, and reward it properly. She ordered a medal, ran her miles on a wet Tuesday evening, and told a few friends. Within a month there were fifty of them.
Twelve years later, The Running Bug is a global community built on that same idea — the run counts because you did it, not because anyone was watching.
