Made For Social Run Club: Where Running Meets Community

Who We Are: Made For Social Run Club

Made For Social Run Club was born out of the simple desire to bring people together through the love of running. Founded by Kylie Valles and Sergio Toboso, we saw so many runners in the park going solo, and we thought: why not create a space where everyone, from locals to expats, can come together, run, and share the experience? At the time, there was no free social running club in Valencia that served both locals and expats, so we decided to start one ourselves. Now, we have a large group of runners who join us regularly, and we’ve grown to include captains for the runs, like Fruela and Alberto, who help lead the way and keep the energy high.

What We Do: Running, Connecting, and Having Fun

At Made For, it’s all about the social side of running. We meet every Saturday morning for a relaxed, non-competitive run, with the focus on enjoying the sport and building connections with fellow runners. We offer different speeds and distances, as well as a walking group, so no matter your pace or preference, there’s a spot for you. Whether you’re running or walking, we want everyone to feel included and part of the community.

We always make sure to have a treat afterward because what’s a run without a little reward? We love trying out new coffee shops around the city for a post-run treat, so there’s always a chance to try something new and hang out with fellow runners.

Our Atmosphere: Casual, Friendly, and Inclusive

What sets Made For apart from other clubs in the area is our laid-back, inclusive vibe. It’s not about training or pushing your limits — it’s about having fun, enjoying the run, and meeting new people. Whether you’re running your first 5K or just want to get moving in a friendly group, we focus on fostering a sense of community, support, and fun.

More Than Just Runs: Building Community

Made For isn’t just about the runs; it's about the people. We engage with our members online through Instagram and also meet up at races and special events throughout the year. There’s always something going on, from group runs to race day meet-ups, and we love seeing the club grow both online and in person. Our runs often start with a group stretch, a quick huddle for motivation, and a group photo to capture the fun.

We’re more than just a running club — we’re a community of people who share a passion for the sport and a love for connecting with others. Whether you're new to running, a seasoned pro, or prefer walking, there’s a place for you here.
