The Hobby Joggers Mission
I founded Hobby Joggers to create a community where runners can find acceptance, support, and encouragement no matter their pace or experience level.
As a lifelong runner myself, I felt the pressure to constantly chase personal records and run longer distances in order to be considered a "real" runner. I wanted to create a space where runners could embrace their love for running without feeling the need to compete with others or meet certain expectations.
At Hobby Joggers, we celebrate the joy that running brings to our lives, whether it's for mental clarity, physical health, or personal accomplishment. We believe that every mile is worth celebrating, no matter the pace or distance.
The term "hobby jogger" has often been used to describe runners negatively, but we see it as a badge of honor. Running is a personal journey, and it's important to remember that we are all on our own unique path.
Whether you walk, jog, or run, we welcome you to our community. We believe that every runner deserves a supportive and inclusive space to pursue their passion, and we're here to support you every step of the way. Join us and embrace the joy of running at your own pace, without any pressure or expectations.
Welcome to the Hobby Joggers Community, where every runner matters, and every step counts.
