064. Thomas Krejci | Founder of Run2gether, African athletes coming to the trails

Thomas Krejci is the founder of Run2gether, an Austrian road and trail running team supported by On Running.

The motto "Run2gether" does not only refer to just running training together. The team is made up by European and Kenyan runners who want to learn from each other, support each other, achieve goals together and benefit from each other on different levels. Run2gether is more than just a running team, it is also active with many educational and humanitarian projects in different villages in Kenya and it organizes training camps in Austria and Kenya.

Two of the strongest mountain runners in the world are part of this team: the Mountain Running World Cup 2022 winners Joyce Njeru and the world uphill champion Patrick Kipngeno. Some athletes, like Geoffrey Ndungu (a 2:08 marathoner) are also competing in the Golden Trail World Series.

Run2gether is a reality not just within the sport of trail running, and is a great example of how through sport we can have a much broader impact on our society.

Discover more about the team.
