This chapter explores the power of community building through running and the importance of spreading positivity and happiness. It emphasizes the intentional inclusivity of the community and discusses practical ways of connecting people in different cities.
Tyler Swartz is the creator of Endorpins - one of the biggest run clubs in the United States. The craziest part about it? He started it in November 2022. Now there are 9 chapters across different states in the USA with close to 10,000 members.
