Our Origin

EZ.RC was born in 2023 as a simple idea: a few mates, led by Tommy Burnell, coming together for a Sunday run. An opportunity to get outside, move and connect.

What started as a collective craving for normality post pandemic, quickly grew into something much bigger.

Today, EZRC is more than a running club, it’s a movement, a tribe, a place to belong.

Our Purpose

At our core, we believe in the power of connection. Through shared struggles and triumphs, we’ve built something meaningful, a space where everyone feels accepted, supported, and inspired to grow.

EZ.RC is a space to better yourself, to connect with others who share your passions, and to feel the therapeutic release of movement.

Our Values

Community

A place where everyone, from seasoned runners to first-timers, feel welcome, supported, and inspired to be part of something bigger.

Connection

We face fears together, push our limits, and celebrate every step forward, no matter how small.

Belief

For us, running isn’t just about the miles; it’s about resilience, progress, and discovering what we’re capable of, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Our Mission

Our mission is to build a movement that transcends running. A movement that unites people through shared passions, meaningful connections, and a belief in each other.

We see a future where EZRC becomes the heartbeat of running culture in Wales. The biggest and most inclusive running community, powered by individuals who believe in the value of togetherness and the transformative power of movement. Individuals who are inspired to be part of something greater than themselves.

Nobody gets left behind.
