“When you finish Parkrun in that very special position that only another Bitcoiner would understand the significance of.”
Congratulations Chris ✊

Massive congratulations to Benny for smashing a phenomenal new 5km PB (18m 25s) in London yesterday; all while flying the flag for Bitcoin and fitness, from the grassroots up. We’re in awe of the progress you’ve made over the last year. Absolute 💫

People often ask: “What is Bitcoin Runners?”. Well, it’s an open-source running club sitting at the intersection of two powerful, community-driven movements. One focused on sovereignty of wealth, the other on sovereignty of health.
Our mission has two pillars:
1. Accelerate bitcoin adoption and normalise its use as a global, peer-to-peer currency.
2. Inspire more people to exercise and experience the life-changing physical and mental benefits it brings.
For runners who don’t ‘bitcoin’:
We’re here to cut through the noise and give you the signal; the knowledge and tools to get ahead of the curve and secure your future without depending on a sick financial system.
For bitcoiners who don’t run:
Welcome to a world of health, fitness, and new friends. Lace up your ASICS and discover what your body and mind are capable of.
For those already “Running bitcoin”:
It’s time to have some fun. Grab a shirt, spread the good word of Satoshi, and build like-minded connections, as we pursue freedom and sovereignty in the digital age.

We can’t wait to run bitcoin with you again and host even more #RunForHals next year.
If you’re putting on an event for bitcoiners and have ideas to support fundraising for ALS research in Hal’s memory, please do get in touch.

It wouldn't be a Bitcoin event without at least one #BitcoinRunner nostr:nprofile1qqsz0htccf3xgmhzmgl7dhmrr2tlx86nxldwqvvfeujr5assvml7vkqprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezummjv9hxwetsd9kxctnyv4mqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmc4h3s65 (and in this case, two 👉🏼🐕🧡)
The sea air was deliciously cold and breathable, while the first rays of sunshine felt so nice on my skin.


The only math that matters:
Proof of Work + Proof of Shirt + Proof of Paws = ❤️ nostr:nprofile1qqsvjw70n09uvp3zezdqv5r2peqyrlfdwu5nql8nhl7qvsrf0823zqcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsd5mjtr

One of the clearest lessons we've learned from our Counter-Kidnapping Training experts (more on that in a second) is that the best course of action in nearly all dangerous in-person situations is to REMOVE YOURSELF from the interaction in any way possible.
i.e. RUN AWAY.
Thus, it makes sense that RUNNING, and your cardiovascular health in general, is a highly important skill not just for your health and wellbeing, but for your PHYSICAL SAFETY in potential dangerous situations as well.
One more reason to love what nostr:nprofile1qqsz0htccf3xgmhzmgl7dhmrr2tlx86nxldwqvvfeujr5assvml7vkqpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn0wfskuem9wp5kcmpwv3jhvtcs5zd8q is doing! 🏃♂️⚡️
...However, it will not always be possible to run away during kidnapping, or other wrench-attack scenarios.
Enter Glok's COUNTER-KIDNAPPING TRAINING seminars, which dive deep into the topic of physical security training with the world's top experts.
