WHY START A RWC CHAPTER?

Your city does not need another event. It needs a community of people willing to go first. Starting a RWC chapter creates a place for people to show up, run together, encounter Jesus, build real friendships, and step into a life on mission. It starts with a simple run, but it becomes a pathway for people to stop doing faith, fitness, and life alone.

REQUIREMENT #1:

A Team of Two

Every Saturday morning, in cities across the world, we run. No pace requirements, no fitness resume, no pressure to be anything you're not. The run is the front door. All you have to do is show up.

REQUIREMENT #2:

A Real Burden

What happens after the run is what nobody plans for. People stay. They talk, they pray, they eat together. Strangers become family here, because we believe no one runs alone.

REQUIREMENT #3:

Commitment to the Process

We don't stay where we started. What begins as a Saturday run becomes real growth, real discipleship, and a life lived on purpose. It starts as a run. It becomes a life on mission.

LAUNCH PROCESS

Step #1:
Reach Out

Tell us about you, your teammate, and your city. We'll set up a discovery call to hear your story, share the vision, and make sure the timing is right.

STEP #2:
‍GET FORMED

Walk through the four-week cohort with your team: Called, Built, Ready, Sent. Vision, systems, execution, and commissioning. You'll know exactly what you're building and why.

STEP #3:
‍PREP YOUR LAUNCH

Four weeks of preparation: lock your date, route, and roles, rehearse your first run, activate your invites, and get launch ready with your team.

STEP #4:
‍LAUNCH & MULTIPLY

Your first Saturday run puts your city on the map. From day one you're backed by post-launch support, leader check-ins, and a movement running in cities across the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an experienced runner to start or join RWC? 

No. RWC is not built for elite runners. It is built for people who want to move together, grow in faith, and find real community. You can run, jog, walk, or simply show up and start where you are.

Is RWC a church?

No. RWC is not a church, a program, or a replacement for the local church. It is a movement that helps people move from isolation to integration through Faith, Fitness, and Community.

What does a typical Run Club look like? 

A Run Club usually includes a welcome, warm-up, run or walk, short encouragement, prayer, and time to connect afterward. The goal is simple: help people show up, be seen, and take a step toward community.

Can anyone start a RWC chapter? 

Anyone can express interest, but RWC chapters are started by people who carry the heart, humility, consistency, and character to lead. We believe no one starts alone, so every chapter begins with a team.

What happens after I apply to start a chapter? 

After you apply, the RWC team will help you move through a clear onboarding process with discovery, development, team-building, and launch preparation so your city can start with health, not just hype.
