HOW WE RUN TOGETHER
AFRC is not just another running club. It’s a commitment to our values.
Everyone who joins us agrees to stand for solidarity, respect and accountability, and to actively contribute to a community where everyone feels welcome and protected.
OUR VALUES ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE
We stand against
-
Fascism
-
Racism
-
Antisemitism
-
Sexism

Homophobia
-
Transphobia
-

All other forms of discrimination and hate.
If you don’t share these values, this isn’t your community.
WE LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER
Nobody runs alone.
We check in with newcomers.
We respect all paces.
We intervene if someone feels unsafe.
We make sure nobody gets left behind.
We believe people when they speak up about discrimination or harm.
Awareness
We strive to create a space where everyone feels welcome, respected and protected.
If you experience or witness harassment, discrimination or any behavior that makes you feel unsafe, please speak to one of the organizers. We take concerns seriously and will respond with care and accountability.
Leave every place better than you found it
We begin every run with a short cleanup – one song long
Looking after our streets is part of looking after our community.
No harassment. No exceptions. No excuses.
Harassment, intimidation, emotional, psychological or physical violence or discriminatory behaviour will not be tolerated.
If someone tells you that your behavior made them uncomfortable, listen.
If you witness harmful behavior, don’t look away.
Take responsibility
Don’t ask what you can get from this community. Ask what you can bring.
Volunteer, lead a pace group, bring music, help organize, support others.
This community is for people who want to contribute.
Respect the neighborhood
We share public space.
Be respectful of residents, pedestrians and cyclists. Leave no trash behind.
Support independent spaces, local businesses and grassroots culture whenever
possible.
Independent / Grassroots / Community led
AFRC is built by the people who show up.
We welcome collaborations that align with our values, but our community always comes before commercial intrests.
