Have you ever completed a 5K race, but felt like your after-party options were slim once you crossed the finish line? Well, Diplo did; He is now developing a new 5K race series to make sure that even after the race is over, the fun continues. Dubbed Diplo's Run Club, the series will host its first events this fall.
Specifically, Diplo's Run Club will head to San Francisco on September 8, 2024, followed by a second event in Seattle on September 14. In both events, there will be a 5K race followed by “finish lines” by Diplo and his friends. The event description includes the fitting send-off: “We race hard with our friends and party even harder afterwards. Are you in?”
Tickets for the San Francisco and Seattle races are now available at RunSignup, offering standard tickets as well as VIP, virtual, and package options. Get tickets to San Francisco here and seattle here. Beyond September, “more dates will be announced soon.”
In a statement, Diplo explained that in recent years he has “doubled down on all things health and wellness, and running has been a big part of that.” Last year, he made headlines when ran the Los Angeles marathon on LSD. Now, however, he hopes to devote more time and attention to fitness with Diplo's Run Club.
“I'm excited to finally be able to combine two of my favorite things into one event: fitness and DJing,” he said, before assuring potential racers that the event will include all levels of experience. “A 5K race may be intimidating for some, but Diplo's Run Club is for everyone and is meant to be a good time for everyone, both experienced runners and anyone just starting out. I can't wait to run and party with everyone at the inaugural events in SF and Seattle this fall!
Meanwhile, if you'd rather catch a Diplo set without breaking a sweat first, he has plenty of dates coming up, including performances at Bonnaroo and Stagecoach. Look his Next datesand get tickets here.
