Fashion Week Magazine Why our Active Givers love the idea Lauren: "With Active Giving, my workouts evolve from activity that's good for me to activity that's good for the world. I've been given a renewed sense of purpose that fuels my workouts as a driving force for positive change." Rene: "I'm an Active Giver because running is my passion. It connects people no matter their gender, religion, or origin. We run together." Ricarda: "Doing yourself a favor by moving your body AND doing good for this planet. Everybody should join.

Easily see when and where your friends are running this week, and join them for a run that fits your schedule. How it works - Create a run in seconds: time, meeting point, pace, vibe - Join runs nearby that match how you feel that day - Chat inside each run to coordinate, say hi, or hype each other up - Show up and run together - no awkward DMs, no WhatsApp chaos Whether you’re training for a race, running with a local club, or just looking to meet like-minded runners, Strider makes it easy to find your people and run together.
