RUNNING & COMMUNITY

Why do we as runners seek out community? What urges us to share our passion for the sport when it is far simpler to run alone?

We believe that running has the power to create lasting connections. The shared experiences of miles conquered and finish lines crossed form bonds that unite us as a community. When we run together, we feel a sense of belonging that should never be underestimated.

PART OF THE CLUB

YMR running wear is designed to bring our customers together as members of this club. Wearing YMR means you are representing a community of runners enthralled by the lifestyle of the sport. Each garment connects you to others who share the same passion for movement, design, and purpose.

Whether you're chasing a new personal best or taking a quiet morning jog, wearing YMR signals that you belong to something bigger. It’s a symbol of shared values: dedication, style, and the enduring joy of the run. This is not just sportswear, it’s a statement of unity.

DRIVING EACH OTHER FORWARD

We thrive on pushing one another forward. Whether it’s chasing a new PR or simply showing up on tough days, our community drives each other to go further. It’s in the quiet encouragement during training runs and the collective push toward personal bests that our spirit truly shines.

During Stockholm Marathon Week, that spirit was unmistakable. From the early morning shakeouts to the final strides across the finish line, our runners showed up for one another with energy, determination, and unwavering support. It was a celebration of not just the marathon, but the powerful sense of togetherness that defines YMR. Read more about our marathon week activity HERE.

Another recent example of YMR team power as we were proud to have not one, but three athletes and friends of the brand competing in the men’s 10,000m Långlöparnas Kväll final. Each athlete, dressed in our signature racewear, embodied the values we hold close: grit, ambition, and the pursuit of personal bests.

YMR Coach Hugo Setthagen crossed the finish line in third place with a remarkable personal best of 30:20.31. Not far behind, Mathias Stjernlöf and Hannes Bjernhagen pushed each other through every lap, running side by side for much of the race. Their relentless rhythm paid off, with both athletes setting new personal bests. You can read the full journal HERE.

PUSHING THROUGH TOGETHER

In community, we find motivation on the days we might otherwise stay home. On a cold winter morning, when the sky is dark and the voice in your head is urging you to stay in bed - these are the times when being part of a running club can provide the push you need. Sharing in the challenge creates a level of motivation that running alone simply cannot emulate.

We are proud that our community not only took part, but thrived throughout the winter season. At every run club our tribe of runners brought high energy to the clubhouse and everyone who came along left feeling glad that they had made it out of bed.
