Exodus Running Community: A Journey of Self-Discovery in Mexico City

In the heart of Mexico City, a running crew was founded in December 2016 not just to pound the pavement, but to embark on a profound journey. Established by Gabriela and Guillermo, Exodus Running Community draws its inspiration from its namesake—a movement from one place to another in search of better prospects. For this tight-knit community, every stride is a step toward personal evolution, turning each run into an odyssey of self-discovery.

Gabriela and Guillermo believe that every training cycle is important, not just the end result. They have created a welcoming space where everyone’s progress is valued, regardless of their experience. Here, people come together through running and support each other as they work to improve.

What truly sets Exodus apart is its diverse, global tapestry of members. This is not just a local phenomenon; it is a testament to the universal appeal of running and the human desire to overcome limitations. As the sun rises over Mexico City, it illuminates the shared aspirations of individuals who have journeyed from different continents to be part of this extraordinary community. As the crew trains together, the sweat-soaked miles weave bonds of connection that go far beyond the physical, creating an uplifting force that propels individuals toward their goals.

The culture of Exodus Running Community is one of unwavering support and collective celebration. Their activities are centered around group runs that forge a powerful connection between the city's landmarks and the runners who embrace them. Every run is an opportunity to tap into the shared experience of transformation, where achievements of every caliber are embraced and support remains steadfast in the face of challenges.

Exodus Running Community welcomes everyone in Mexico City, whether you are an experienced runner or just curious to try something new. Residents and visitors alike are invited to join and experience the city through running.

While Exodus is a trailblazer, they are part of a vibrant ecosystem of running crews in Mexico City. The city's running scene is a dynamic tapestry woven with threads of passion and determination. This includes the large, creative community of DROMO Run Crew, the performance-focused Tempo Running Crew, and the social The Gang Running Club. These crews, and many others, all contribute to the city's diverse and supportive running culture.

Mexico City is a large and energetic city that offers a wealth of opportunities for runners. The city combines old and new, with historic streets and wide avenues. Its rich history and culture inspire a strong and passionate running community.

Exodus members roam all over the city, utilizing places like Chapultepec Park, one of the largest parks in the region, with its trails, lakes, and the famous Chapultepec Castle. They also enjoy running in the Roma neighborhood, known for its tree-lined streets and colorful street art.

Mexico City’s running scene comes alive during big races, especially the Mexico City Marathon. This major event takes runners through historic neighborhoods, starting at Zócalo Square and finishing at Estadio Olímpico Universitario, uniting the community.
