Our vision at Zen Running Club? Simple.

We are all about empowering you and your run powered by nature-based innovation. Setting a new industry standard: Where peak performance, style and sustainability become one.

How it all started

It all started with two guys and a dream. After spending years working in the running industry’s biggest brands, we wanted to create a business that was more than great performance product and a marketing machine. We wanted to create a brand built from a community of runners for the community of runners. Product powered by nature, with the newest plant-based innovation enabling you to elevate your game. Connecting you closer with nature when you don’t have enough time to be in it. Product that will one day have the power to nurture our planet, not to destroy it.

Why we are here

You see, we are here to transform the industry from a sustainability standard. Because we believe that people with passion can change the world for the better and set new standards for all. People like you. Our end goal? To create shoes that are born in nature, and when done, can go back to the soil and nurture nature. Therefore we are working on a fully circular bio-based supply chain – materials that can simply be harvested and regrown.

Our Mission

Our mission? We are here to inspire the world to go running and we are here to elevate every runner. We craft our shoes to empower our consumers to move, to enjoy activity with their friends, to break their own boundaries and to connect with nature.

We cater to the needs of elite athletes, utilising high-performance level innovation and materials science, whilst leading the industry from a place far beyond our sustainable competition. And we equally give the everyday runner comfortable favorites for their runs or for simply for all-day wear.

What the world thinks of Zen Running Club

It’s only been a few years since our inception. But already today our products have the highest bio-content in the performance running industry with 68% bio based components. And we are passionate to continue to raise the bar. Our shoes have been acclaimed awards. And as the only indie brand we have landed in the top 20 lists of the best sustainable running shoes alongside the big names.

Community

And community has played a big part in this. As runners, all our products have been born out of ideas that runners had whilst experiencing product on-foot. We are all about bringing people together through run clubs and partnerships such as the Hyde park Runners with the Mandarin Oriental in London, UK. We are about sharing, whether that’s feedback on product, sharing the sweat or simply sharing a good laugh and coffee after a run. For us it’s all about bringing people together. To make the best shoes for you. And to make the world a better place. From runners for runners. Powered by nature. And made from good decisions.
