What is Jumeirah Johns Running Club?
Jumeirah Johns is Dubai's most social run club. While Dubai's running scene has always been lively, we noticed there wasn’t a club that made the social side of training a top priority—so we created one! Founded in 2022, JJRC has quickly become a top fitness and social hub in Dubai. We offer at least three free weekly social runs, collaborations with awesome brands, and a lot more.
Who is JJRC for?
JJRC is for everyone who wants to make running easier and more enjoyable. We started JJRC because we found other run clubs a bit intimidating and wanted to create a space that felt the complete opposite.Our runs are entirely free and open to all abilities. We organize out-and-back routes, so you can run at your own pace and turn back whenever you feel comfortable. And hey, if you don’t feel like running, just come by for coffee after the session.Whether you’re a marathon veteran or haven’t run a single kilometer in your life, we’d love to have you join our community.
Outside of the Runs?
We may have started as a run club, but we quickly realized our community is into way more than just running. Over time, we've organized everything from padel tournaments and functional fitness classes to beach games, yoga, Pilates, stand-up paddleboarding, ice baths, and more.And yes, we like to have a good time! Every now and then, we throw big community events to blow off some steam and connect with one another. JJRC keeps a full social calendar where you can meet like-minded people and enjoy some good, old-fashioned fun.So, there you have it—the long and short of it. We’re much more than just a run club. JJRC is incredibly proud of its diverse and amazing community. If you want to be part of it, just show up for a run. It’s that simple.
