At Sober Standard we hate sobriety gimmicks. Early mornings and sobriety have more in common than you think—both demand discipline, commitment, and the courage to show up. At the Sober Standard Run Club, we’ve merged these two pillars into a movement that’s transforming lives, one sunrise at a time. Whether you’re in recovery, sober-curious, or simply want to start your weekend with purpose, this is your invitation to rise, run, and reclaim your mornings.
Why Join a Sober Running Club?
For those navigating sobriety, replacing old habits with healthy routines is critical. Studies show that exercise reduces cravings and improves mental health in recovery. Here’s why the Sober Standard Run Club stands out:
- Accountability: Show up for yourself and others at 6am sharp.
- Community: Connect with people who understand the journey—no judgment, just support.
- Fitness for All: Walk, jog, or sprint—no pace requirements.
What to Expect at the Sober Standard Run Club
1. Saturday Sixam: A Ritual for Clarity
Every Saturday at 6:00 AM, we meet to run, walk, or simply breathe in the quiet of the morning. It’s not about speed—it’s about starting your day with intention.
