Founded in 2017

Pinoy Runners London was founded in 2017. It operates on The Code which reflects the three Filipino principles of Inspire, Care, and Respect. It is our guide to develop, hone, and sustain our fellow athletes.

Code 1: INSPIRE

To become good role models of Filipino athleticism characterised by dedication, patience, and humility.

To encourage fellow Filipinos to lead a healthier and happier life through running.

To hold running and social events that will foster camaraderie among the members.

To share personal and professional expertise in running through videos, write-ups, evidence-based literature, etc. via Facebook, Instagram, other forms of social media, gatherings, and training sessions.

Code 2: CARE

To take into serious consideration the holistic needs of fellow members in carrying-out the community’s positive endeavours.

To promote self-worth among the members whilst avoiding unnecessary competitions that can lead to disappointment, frustration, and misunderstanding.

To value the uniqueness of each individual member and their capacity to contribute to the growth of the community.

To shepherd each other inorder to maintain focus, reaching out to struggling members.

To support each other in attaining mutually agreed goals.

Code 3: RESPECT

To ensure that no one in the community is disadvantaged in any form.

To realise each individual is special and unique in their own way.

To believe that each has the capacity to progress and that they deserve the best support.

To honour each member as a dignified person regardless of gender/ sexual orientation, beliefs, opinions, socio-economic status, and cultural backgrounds.

May the Almighty Lord bless each one of us!
