Our Story

STARTED WITH TWO FRIENDS, A 5K, AND A BAG OF CROISSANTS.

Croissant Run Club began as a simple pact: move early, then sit down together for something good. Today it’s Dubai’s warmest social run and walk community — built on four things we never compromise on.

INCLUSIVE PACING

Conversational pace is the rule. Lead runners up front, a sweeper at the back, and zero shame in walking.

COMMUNITY FIRST

We came for the movement and stayed for the people. New in Dubai? You'll know names by the second week.

THE EARNED REWARD

Warm pastries taste better after 5K. Every route ends at a table, not a finish line.

CHAMPIONING QUALITY OF LIFE

We spotlight Dubai's homegrown artisanal bakeries, specialty roasters, wellness, recovery, activewear and lifestyle brands that elevate daily living — not just bakeries.

It’s all about people

From The Heart Of CRC

MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

To our CRC family, and to everyone looking for their next spark —

I didn’t start Croissant Run Club just to log miles. I started it to fuel our mornings with energy, genuine connections, and good vibes.

To our members: You are the heart of this community. Every step you take, every smile, and every cheer turns an ordinary run into something extraordinary.

To anyone waiting for a sign to join: Come as you are. Your pace doesn’t matter; your presence does. We don’t just run for numbers — we run to uplift each other, share great moments, and enjoy the journey together.

The pavement is waiting, and the best runs are always the ones we share.

SEPTEMBER THEME: BE SOMEONE’S GOOD MOMENT ✨

This month is about warm community connection: spreading positivity, cheering on fellow runners and walkers, and creating uplifting, memorable moments together over morning miles, specialty coffee, and quality-of-life brand experiences.

Community Action

Share a smile, pace a newcomer, high-five a stranger, and be the bright spot in someone's morning.

Good Moment Buddies

Every gathering pairs a regular with a first-timer so nobody runs, walks or sits alone at the table.

Featured Collaborations

FAQ

GOOD QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

5:30 AM sharp. We brief and warm up together at 5:30 and step off at 5:45 — arrive a few minutes early so you don't miss the route rundown.

Absolutely. Both the 3K and the 5K have run and walk groups, so you can power walk, jog, or mix the two. Conversational pace is the whole point.

It's 100% free to join via Luma. You only pay for whatever you order at the bakery afterwards.

Every month we launch a brand new themed edition — a guest bakery pop-up, a limited edition pastry, a playful dress code, and a fresh scenic route, closed out by a bigger community celebration. Themes are announced on Luma and on Instagram at @croissantrun.club at the start of each month.

Any brand dedicated to health, wellness and quality of life. Alongside artisanal bakeries and specialty coffee roasters we collaborate with recovery studios, running apparel, activewear, nutrition and mindful living brands. If that's you, DM us on Instagram at @croissantrun.club to host an edition.

Every Sunday. We gather and warm up at 5:30 AM sharp and step off at 5:45 AM — same ritual every week.

Any additional events, pop-up runs, or special themed editions are announced later in our community WhatsApp group. Message us on WhatsApp at +971 52 760 2783 (wa.me/971527602783) to be added.

Yes — we keep an informal bag drop at the start point with a volunteer watching it. Please leave valuables at home anyway.

Street and mall parking near the start point is free at that hour. The exact lot is pinned in the Luma event details each week.

Lead runners hold a steady 6:30-7:30 min/km on the 5K, with a sweeper at the back so nobody finishes alone. The 3K group stays fully conversational.
