RUNNING IS JUST THE BEGINNING
Run Like Us is a training project and sports community founded in Bologna, created to promote sport and running as tools for well-being, personal growth and connection.
It was founded by Venuste Niyongabo, Burundian athlete and Olympic champion in the 5,000 metres at Atlanta 1996. His experience at the highest level of international athletics inspired a simple idea: to bring the values of sport — discipline, determination, inclusion and respect — beyond competition and into everyday life.
That’s why Run Like Us is for everyone: from those taking their first steps into running to experienced athletes, from those looking for a new challenge to those who simply want to feel good and share the experience with others.
We train together, improve together and build meaningful connections through sport.
Because running can mean so much more than simply reaching the finish line.
