About REBORN
A running club that started with a question.
How it started
REBORN started with one simple question: how can I help people become the best version of themselves?
One evening I was sitting at home thinking about how mindset can change a person's life. I believe that once you learn to control your mindset, you can overcome almost anything. Running is not just about fitness. It is about discipline, confidence, resilience and growth.
I wanted to build something that could bring people together while helping them become stronger, both physically and mentally.
So I sent a message to my friends: what do you think about starting a running club? Their answer was simple: let's do it.
On 5 May 2026, REBORN was born.
We did not start as professional runners. We started as friends with a shared vision: to create a community where everyone feels welcome, no matter their pace or experience.
Today REBORN is more than a running club. It is a community that brings people together, builds friendships, explores Istanbul, and inspires people towards becoming a better version of themselves.
Because every step is a rebirth.

What happens when you turn up
Joining a REBORN run is simple. Here is what to expect.
01
Arrive 15 minutes early
Meet the community, check in, drop off your belongings if there is somewhere to leave them, and get to know the other runners before we begin.
02
Warm up together
We start every session with a guided group warm-up to prepare your body, reduce the risk of injury, and get everyone ready to run.
03
The run
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced runner, everyone moves at their own pace. The goal is not to race. It is to enjoy the run, support each other, and have fun.
04
Cool down and stretch
After the run we stretch together to aid recovery, improve flexibility and help prevent injuries.
05
Community time
This is our favourite part. We take group photos, chat, meet new people and enjoy whatever the group feels like doing afterwards. Every run is a chance to build friendships.
