A social club disguised as a run club.
Lazy Run Club started with a simple idea: making friends shouldn't be harder than running.
Founded in Santa Cruz in 2026 by Ayo Banjo, we're building a space where people can move, meet someone new, and feel a little more connected to their community.
Just easy miles, good people, and coffee after.
Founder & Community Lead
Ayo started Lazy Run Club to bring people together beyond their screens and group chats. A community builder with a love for culture, movement, and human connection, he's helping turn a simple Sunday run into something bigger: a place where strangers become friends.

The founding crew may have started the group chat, but everyone who shows up helps make the club what it is.
Come solo. Bring a friend. Leave with more people in your corner.
