Run Your Business Madrid | Every Sunday (Slow Run)

Run Your Business is where Madrid’s founders, operators and investors meet for an easy run, on Tuesday afternoons and Sunday mornings (early Sunday mornings!).

The idea is simple: run together, share ideas and create meaningful connections with people building companies, projects and communities in Madrid.

This is not a traditional run club. It's a curated space for people who are building something and want to meet others doing the same.

When & where🗓 Sunday, 11 October · 8:00–10:00📍 Meeting point: C. del Vado, 189, Madrid Río, next to the Manzanares near Legazpi (see the map below)🎒 7:50: bag drop. You can leave your bags in a locked car we’ll have parked at the meeting point!🏃 8:00: we start running. 8 km at about 7 min/km.☕ Around 9:00👋 10:00: wrap up

Why we started itWe were tired of networking that goes nowhere: another coffee to “catch up”, another event where everyone stands around with a drink and a business card. The best conversations we’d had with other founders happened while we were doing something together. When you’re running side by side, nobody pitches and nobody pretends. You just talk about what’s actually going on with your company.

So we started running with the people we wanted to meet, and more people kept joining. Less than one year after more than 200 have come so far!

The run7–9 km at around 7 min/km, slow enough to talk the whole way. If you can chat, you’re doing it right.

Never run 8 km? Come anyway. You are a pro athlete that runs 8 km before breakfast every day? Come anyway and slow down.

About the €1

We don’t make any money from this club, and the €1 doesn’t pay for anything, there's no suscription or strings attached. It’s just there so you actually show up for every run that you sign up to... On Saturday night everyone’s in but at 7:30 on Sunday the bed usually wins! The euro is your deal with your Sunday-morning self 😉

What to expect:

  • A small curated group

  • Easy run at a slow, conversational pace (7-9 km)

  • Conversations with founders and builders

  • Post-run coffee and hangout

Who this is for:

  • Founders and co-founders

  • Startup operators

  • Investors

  • Business owners, whatever the size

  • Anyone building a project or a company

It’s a real mix. You’ll run next to a founder who has raised €10M and an e-commerce owner doing €5M a year. Next to them are people running a five-person business who deal with payroll, clients and sales every single day. Valuation or revenue doesn't matter while you run, everyone is building something and that’s the only thing you need in common.

Photos & videoWe may take some photos along the way, and maybe shoot a video too — but if you need or want some cool content for your personal brand please speak up and we’ll happily help you film you running! 😜

*If you’d rather stay out of the photos, just tell us at the start and we’ll keep you out.
