01 / BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
A social run, not a race
Working with Dirt & Distance, we organised a welcoming 5K social run from The Social Hub in Glasgow. A shared experience that put connection ahead of competition.

The Big Glasgow Running Event · September 2026
The experience
One memorable in-person event
The content
Authentic stories, captured in a day
The impact
Awareness & positive attendee feedback
The challenge
runr is a brand built around a love of running. Our opportunity was to turn that shared passion into a real-world experience — and give the brand a story to tell long after the day itself.
The brief went beyond putting on a great event. We needed to create meaningful brand awareness, make attendees feel part of the community, and capture enough authentic content to fuel months of social media.

Our approach
Event planning and content creation, working together from the very beginning.
01 / BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
Working with Dirt & Distance, we organised a welcoming 5K social run from The Social Hub in Glasgow. A shared experience that put connection ahead of competition.
02 / MAKE IT MEMORABLE
runr hats, coffee, pastries and a live DJ set by DJ Lu turned the post-run social into a brand experience — giving people a reason to stay, chat and enjoy the atmosphere.
03 / CAPTURE THE STORY
We captured the people, the energy and the brand in action. The result was a bank of genuine, community-led content with a life well beyond the event itself.

The content opportunity
One well-planned day gave runr months’ worth of social media content. Not staged moments or generic brand imagery, but real runners enjoying a shared experience.
From the social run to the conversations afterwards, the event created a varied content bank that keeps the community — and the brand — visible long after everyone heads home.
The results
runr was at the heart of a shared experience, building awareness through real interaction rather than just another impression on a screen.
Fantastic feedback from attendees showed the value of bringing people together around something they love. The brand became part of a memorable day.
Months’ worth of social content captured at a single event — giving runr a rich source of authentic stories to continue sharing with its audience.
