About
Hal Finney Mountain Run | Bitcoin Atlantis 2024 | Funchal, Madeira
Bitcoin Runners is an open-source initiative at the intersection of two community-led movements enabling sovereignty of one's wealth, while improving one's health.
Our objectives are to broaden the adoption of Bitcoin as a viable international currency by growing a global community of like-minded individuals, while encouraging participation in running.
For Everyone
No matter where you are on your journey.
For runners who don't 'bitcoin'
We're here to cut through the noise and give you the signal — the knowledge and tools to get ahead and secure your future without depending on a broken financial system.
For bitcoiners who don't run
Welcome to a world of health, fitness, and new friends. Lace up your ASICS and discover what your body and mind are capable of.
For those already running bitcoin
It's time to have some fun. Grab a shirt, spread the good word of Satoshi, and build like-minded connections as we pursue a world where individuals are free and sovereign.
How it Started
On June 14th, 2019, founder Richard Taylor attended the Digital Asset Summit in London — an Andreas Antonopoulos Patreon meetup. Also in attendance was a fellow bitcoiner, and runner, named Anibal Santaella.
What followed was a 20+ kilometre run along the Thames, the birth of Bitcoin Runners, and a friendship that would help shape the movement.

How's it Going?
The movement expanded at the Berlin Lightning Conference in October 2019, where Vitus Zeller — founder of TeamSatoshi — co-hosted the run, establishing a lasting partnership.
Since then, we've grown into an international community, hosting conference social runs, charity runs, and challenges across six continents.
