Summary

We Run 313’s motto is “Connect. Run. Build.” Lance Woods and Joe Robinson founded the social run club to connect “like-minded individuals through running to build a healthier and happier community.” That community is Detroit, which is where the “313” comes from - it’s the Motor City’s area code. We Run 313 has become Detroit’s largest run club in just three years, not only in-person, but also on Strava, where it has 2190 members.

Joe and Lance are both competitive runners, but the runs that We Run 313 hosts aren’t about competition. As Lance explains, “we're for runners of all levels, all ages, all races, all paces, whatever the case may be. We're a community-based organization that helps people to keep moving and to stay active.”

on the show today. Also, did you get a chance to listen to episode 300 yet? It was a special one

1:03.1

for episode 300. Someone I've been wanting to interview for many years in Reshma, Seljani,

1:09.1

and it was a fantastic conversation. She opened up in a way, she hasn't really done so on other

1:14.1

podcasts, and it was really enjoyable. I hope you enjoyed that one, and if you haven't listened,

1:18.8

be sure to go back and check that one out. Today, I want to let you know, and let us get a bit of

insight into the lives of these two guys that I got to meet in Boston. I had an impromptu

group, and it was just such a powerful moment for me, one of my favourite moments of the whole

weekend, and I loved both of these guys so much. I wanted to bring them on the podcast to dig into

their story deeper. Now, Lance Woods and Joe Robinson are the co-founders of We Run 313, which is the

largest growing running club in the state of Michigan. It's also become the largest running club

in the state of Michigan. They are doing some awesome things. You will get to hear the reason behind
