Every Sunday we run through Rotterdam together. 5K or 10K, two pace groups, coffee and bagels afterwards. No sign up, no fuss. You just come.
A run club for all of Rotterdam. Fast or slow, first time or regular.
Roffa Runs started in 2024 with a simple idea: running together beats running alone. No subscription, no level requirements, no intake. You drop by on Sunday, pick your distance and run along.
After the run we stick around for coffee and bagels. That is how you meet new people who love moving and love the city as much as you do. That is what it is really about.
Emilee started Roffa Runs and you will usually spot her at the front on Sunday. First time and you don't know anyone yet? Come and say hi. You never need to know anyone to run with us.
You do not have to arrange anything. Here is what to expect the first time you join.
No booking in advance. Come to the start, say hi and you run along. It really is that simple.
We rotate between 5K and 10K. There are two pace groups, so you always find one that fits you.
We share the route on our Strava beforehand, so you won't get lost. You do need to keep up with the pacers though, as we can no longer cater to both the very fastest and the slowest.
Afterwards we settle in for coffee and bagels. Often the best part of the morning.
What started with a handful of people has grown into a community that gets bigger every week. On the track, in the bar and at events across the city.

No. You do not have to register anywhere and there is no membership. Just come by on Sunday. Want to keep up with the time and location? Join the community on WhatsApp.
Running along is free. You pay for your own coffee and bagels afterwards, often with a discount for runners.
There are two pace groups and we rotate between 5K and 10K, so there is usually a group that suits you. Keep in mind that you run at the pace of the pacers, so some base fitness helps. We share the route on our Strava beforehand in case you lose the group.
We run every Sunday and often meet at Bagel Bagel in Rotterdam. We share the exact time and start point on Instagram and in the WhatsApp community, so you always have the latest info.
Running shoes, clothes you move well in and the urge to run. Bring something to drink if you like. Nothing else to prepare.
Most people show up alone the first time. Within a few minutes you are chatting with new people. That is exactly why Roffa Runs exists.
Join the community and you will know exactly where and when we run. Otherwise, just show up.
Are you a brand looking to team up with Roffa Runs? We are always open to collabs, events and partnerships, so drop us a line.
