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?

Since that first run along the Thames, Bitcoin Runners has grown into a global community: 54 runs and challenges in 30 cities across 16 countries. These range from social runs at Bitcoin conferences and a weekly run in Singapore to virtual challenges anyone can join.

In 2022, we helped launch the Running Bitcoin Challenge, 21km over 21 days from 10 January (“Running bitcoin” Day). Across five editions it has raised more than $340,000 USD for the Hal Finney ALS/MND Research Fund.

Our Run For Hal World Tour takes the cause to Bitcoin gatherings from Prague and Nashville to Lugano, Las Vegas, Fort Worth, Warsaw and Seoul. We’ve also run from prison to #FreeSamourai.
