Run Club: Retiro

Join us on Wednesday, May 13, for our monthly Run Club. A relaxed, social 5K designed to get you moving and connecting with fellow members outdoors.

We are taking advantage of the evening weather for a social run through Madrid. This is not a race; we maintain a casual, conversational pace designed to keep the group together. We will meet up, do a quick warm-up, complete the route, and wrap up with a cool-down and time to chat.
The Ultimate Why
Running alongside others is one of the easiest ways to break the ice and build community. It is a healthy, energizing break in the middle of your week and a great way to meet members outside of our usual dinner or party settings.
What to Expect
• The Pace: A conversational 5K run. All levels are welcome, and no one gets left behind.
• The Route: A scenic loop through El Retiro Park.
• Authentic Connection: An environment strictly free from digital distractions so you can focus on the run and the conversation.
Venue

Meeting Point:Puerta de Alcalá entrance to Retiro.
Timeline
• 19:00 - 19:15: Meet, greet, and warm-up.
• 19:15 - 20:00: The 5K run.
• 20:00 - 20:30: Cool down, stretching, and post-run connections.
Dress Code
Athletic Gear: Comfortable running shoes and breathable workout attire appropriate for the evening weather. Please note there is no bag drop, so arrive ready to run with only what you can carry
Meet your Host : Oana Buda

Hi OTC, I’m Oana—and for those of you I haven’t met yet, here’s the deal: I love extremes. Work hard, play hard, sport hard, party harder, and above all… stay curious.
I’m an architect turned real estate consultant, investor, and developer—but we’re not here to talk business (unless you’re curious, in which case… my DMs are open 😋).
I’m here to tell you how I ended up writing this description.
After a sabbatical that took me from the Camino de Santiago to the Inca Trail and all the way down to Patagonia, something totally unexpected happened. When I got back home to Madrid, I fell in love with the one thing I used to hate: running.
Yep, the girl who swore you should only run if a dog was chasing you is now a proud marathon finisher and the founder of social running clubs. We combine easy runs with good vibes, hidden corners of the city, and curated dinners and drinks. Think of it as a moving party—with a splash of cardio.
Come join us. Your legs (and your social life) will thank you.
