Diplo's Run Club: Fitness Meets Dance Music
18 Feb
Summary
- Diplo created Run Club to merge fitness and dance music experiences.
- The concept originated after a marathon led to a morning DJ set.
- Phoenix event featured fastest runners and impressive 5k times.

Electronic music artist Diplo has successfully merged his passion for running and dance music with his Run Club events. The concept was born from his personal experience of attending a DJ set at Space Nightclub at 9 am after completing the Miami marathon. He realized this provided a uniquely clear-headed and enjoyable way to experience music.
Initially a small group, the trend grew, prompting Diplo and his team to organize official Run Club events. These gatherings have since been held in various cities, with a recent event in Phoenix attracting nearly 10,000 participants. This particular run boasted the fastest times in the club's history, with one runner completing a 5k in an impressive 15 minutes and 20 seconds.
