080TOKYO

080TOKYO describes itself as a social running crew and the most laid-back run club in Tokyo, focused on community rather than competition. Its regular weekly run starts every Monday at 8:10 pm from the Harajuku Gate of Yoyogi Park, a short walk from Harajuku and Meiji-jingumae stations, and runners of every level and nationality join.

The crew also organises Saturday morning runs with breakfast, morning run-and-rave parties, shake-out runs before Tokyo races and its own long-distance ekiden; those special events are announced on Instagram, some with a small fee for food and drinks.
