EP034 | Charlie Allen | How to transform fitness into nightlife without a drop of alcohol

Jacky and Pete sit down with Charlie Allen, the visionary founder of Friday Night Lights, a unique concept that blends the exhilaration of nightlife with the wholesomeness of running. Charlie discusses how his passion for both fitness and music led him to create an event where party vibes and athletic endurance collide, offering a sober alternative to traditional clubbing.


Charlie shares stories from the early days of Friday Night Lights, from its humble beginnings in a small community park to becoming a city-wide phenomenon. He opens up about the challenges of organising such unique events, the surprising moments of human connection and transformation that occur, and the vibrant community that has sprung up around these nighttime running parties.


Charlie also talks about the personal and communal impacts of Friday Night Lights, emphasising how it promotes mental health and physical well-being while providing a safe, inclusive environment free from the pressures of alcohol and drugs.
