About Us
VAMOS Run Club based out of Chennai, India was founded in July 2025 with a simple yet powerful belief—consistency changes everything. What began with just two runners has grown into a thriving community of 3,000+ members, united by discipline, passion, and a shared love for running.
At VAMOS, running is free and accessible to all. There are no membership fees, no performance barriers, and no exclusions. Pace, experience, or background do not define a runner—commitment does. From first-time runners to experienced athletes, everyone trains, learns, and progresses together.
VAMOS also focuses on structured and professional training for running competitions. Our sessions are designed to help runners build endurance, improve performance, and prepare confidently for races—at no cost. We believe high-quality training should be available to anyone willing to show up and put in the effort.
Beyond running, VAMOS is about community and purpose. Through group runs, post-run activities, conversations, and regular meetups, we create a supportive environment where meaningful connections are formed and fitness becomes a sustainable lifestyle.
In a world driven by speed and financial gain, VAMOS stands for purpose and passion. While many chase outcomes, we focus on the process—showing up, staying consistent, and growing together.
VAMOS is more than a run club. It is a movement - Built on consistency. Driven by passion. United by community.
Our Vision
To create a world where running becomes a natural part of everyday life. VAMOS envisions a strong, inclusive community that inspires people of all ages and fitness levels to start running, stay consistent, and experience the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of an active lifestyle.
Our vision is to transform running from an occasional activity into a lifelong habit, while also building a culture that nurtures discipline, confidence, and long-term personal growth.
Our Mission
VAMOS Run Club exists to inspire and motivate people to begin their running journey and support them at every stage of growth. Our mission is to make running simple, accessible, and sustainable by creating a safe and encouraging environment where individuals feel supported and accountable.
Through regular group runs, community engagement, and structured progression, we aim to build consistency and discipline. For runners who aspire to go further, VAMOS is committed to developing pathways that prepare and guide them toward competitive and professional endurance events such as marathons, HYROX, IRONMAN, Spartan races, and ultramarathons, while always staying true to our core values of passion, community, and purpose.

Kids Club
VAMOS Kids Club is a fun-first, activity-driven initiative created to help children aged 5 to 12 years move away from excessive screen time and develop healthy physical, social, and emotional habits in a safe and engaging environment. In today’s digital-first world, many children are increasingly dependent on mobile phones, tablets, and screens. VAMOS aims to reverse this trend by encouraging real-world play, movement, and interaction.
Our sessions focus on fun games, playful fitness activities, basic strength and coordination exercises, teamwork, and social interaction—all designed to keep children active while enjoying the process. Activities are carefully structured to be age-appropriate, inclusive, and enjoyable, ensuring that every child feels confident and motivated to participate. The emphasis is on participation, enjoyment, and learning through movement, not competition or performance pressure.
The Kids Club is a parent-supported, commitment-based program, where regular attendance is encouraged to help children build consistency, discipline, and long-term healthy habits. By combining physical activity with fun and community bonding, VAMOS helps children build confidence, reduce digital dependency, and develop a lifelong love for movement.

VAMOS Trekking Club
The VAMOS Trekking Club in association with Tamil Nadu Hikes, is created for individuals who love nature, adventure, and meaningful outdoor experiences. This club goes beyond fitness by offering curated trekking experiences that combine physical challenge, mental refresh, and deep connection with nature.
Through professionally organised treks, members explore scenic trails, hills, forests, and offbeat destinations across Tamil Nadu and beyond. Each trek is carefully planned with a strong focus on safety, guidance, and group coordination, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced trekkers.
The Trekking Club promotes endurance, resilience, teamwork, and environmental awareness. Treks are not just about reaching the summit—they are about the journey, the people you meet, and the shared experiences that build lasting memories and strong community bonds.
This is a commitment-based club, encouraging responsible trekking, physical preparedness, and respect for nature. Regular participation helps members build stamina, confidence, and a spirit of adventure while being part of a like-minded community.
Beyond Running
Fun, Fitness, and Team Bonding After Every Run
Post-run fun games are an integral part of the VAMOS experience and one of the most anticipated elements of our weekly runs. Activities such as Kho-Kho, beach football, tug of war, and team-based challenges create an energetic and enjoyable atmosphere, allowing members to relax and connect after completing their run.
These games play a significant role in building strong team bonding and camaraderie. By encouraging collaboration, communication, and shared effort, they help break barriers between participants and foster a sense of unity within the community. This inclusive environment makes fitness approachable and enjoyable for runners of all experience levels.
In addition to social benefits, post-run games contribute meaningfully to physical fitness. They enhance cardiovascular endurance, agility, coordination, and overall stamina, complementing the running session. By combining structured running with fun, high-energy activities, VAMOS keeps members motivated, engaged, and eager to return week after week.
The Community Impact
Achieved organic growth from 2 members to 3,000+, supported by 26 consecutive weekly events in 2025 with 100+ participants per run, demonstrating sustained demand, operational discipline, and consistency.
Built a high-engagement, high-retention community, where members of all age between 18 to 35 actively look forward to VAMOS every weekend, viewing it as a trusted space to reset after stressful workweeks and a second family rooted in belonging and support.
Established a scalable, community-led model that converts first-time runners into long-term habitual runners, delivering measurable physical and mental well-being impact while maintaining strong brand loyalty and organic growth.
Engagement and Lifestyle Integration
VAMOS goes beyond running to build a holistic fitness and lifestyle community that supports physical health, mental well-being, and meaningful social connection. Our focus is not limited to performance alone, but on creating an environment where members can reset, recharge, and find balance through consistent physical activity and shared experiences.
Along with weekly runs, we encourage members to explore diverse sports and activities such as badminton, swimming, surfing, gym training, pickleball, football, volleyball, rock climbing, and cycling, promoting overall athletic development. Through regular engagement and strong community interaction, VAMOS fosters a sense of belonging that keeps members active, connected, and motivated well beyond the run.
Networking Breakfast
Networking breakfasts are a key part of the VAMOS experience, providing members with an opportunity to connect beyond the run in a relaxed and welcoming environment. After completing the physical activity, members come together to unwind, interact, and build meaningful conversations, creating a strong sense of community.
These sessions encourage relationship building across diverse professional and personal backgrounds. Members share experiences, ideas, and perspectives, helping foster trust, collaboration, and long-term connections that go beyond fitness. For many, this becomes a space to network organically without pressure, while strengthening bonds within the community.
By combining fitness with networking, VAMOS creates a balanced experience that supports both physical well-being and social growth. The networking breakfasts reinforce belonging, increase engagement, and contribute to higher retention, making them an important pillar of the overall VAMOS lifestyle.
