Anyone else find it weird that they call it “run club” in this article - I’ve only ever seen or heard of “running clubs”.
“Run club” sounds like annoying gamer/streamer/influencer-adjacent and/or Gen-Z lingo or like something a European would say. Seems like a marketing ploy to make a running club seem more “trendy” or “fun”. Disgusting.
“Running club” has a much better, more refined character to it.

Turning 'running club' into 'run club' is a glaringly American thing to do, not European. We used to have shaving cream and swimming trunks. Thanks to American global language dominance we now have shave gel and swim pants. It makes me rage-puke.

Huh? I'm 'murican and never used those terms. Heck, i've never even heard "swim pants" until reading this thread

I use "shaving cream" and wear a "swim suit" or "bathing suit."
i say swimming trunks or swim trunks. maybe it's a regional thing.
and a "singles run club" sounds awful. if you go to a normal run group and happen to find something, GREAT! If you go to a group and have to advertise yourself with a specific outfit, that's cringe in my book. but then, I still couldn't imagine putting myself on an online dating site.
old man yelling at clouds. I am him. I was born him.
Hundreds of young, single adults were spotted out in Manhattan one recent night. They were dressed in black and looking for romance.
And that is news, how?
This was no normal outing. They were part of a running club: one that links jogging with finding a date. Held Wednesdays, there is one rule: wear black if you’re single.
I loved the most liked comment in the comments section.
The young people are learning that meeting people in person is so much better than behind a computer screen. I am glad to see this.
As a woman, I really dislike this concept of "wearing black if you're single"
It just seems soooo....instant meat market. I would never go to a club like this, because I would feel like I'm just targeted.
Plus, some people would be there who aren't even runners, they just want to meet someone. Go to a bar!
As a woman, I would much rather go to a running club with all mixed people (some married, some singles) who are passionate about running, and if you meet someone single there, fine.
"wearing black if you're single," c'mon! I'm a realist: I imagine there's going to be people in committed relationships there who just want to meet babes (I know that could be anywhere though).

Millions are rejecting the culture-war hotspots of the major social media sites in favour of apps dedicated to activities they enjoy, while bonding with their fellow users
In my somewhat vast and varied experience, if there's a weekly group that generally meets to run somewhere on, say, a Monday... we would all just call it The Monday Run. Even if it's a "fun run". Typically no recurring run is a "run club" unless they made a point at the start to literally dub themselves "The ___ Run Club".
