Diplo Launches Innovative Run Club Blending Fitness and Live Music
Krissy Vann | Host, All Things Fitness and Wellness
Grammy-winning artist and multi-faceted entrepreneur Diplo has announced the launch of his latest venture, Diplo’s Run Club. This unique series marries the worlds of fitness and music by combining 5K runs with vibrant afterparties featuring DJ sets from Diplo and various friends. Tickets for the inaugural events in San Francisco and Seattle are available for purchase starting today, with additional dates and locations to be revealed soon.
“Over the past few years, I’ve doubled down on all things health and wellness, and running has been a big part of that,” Diplo stated. “I’m excited to finally get to combine two of my favorite things in one event: fitness and DJing. A 5K may be intimidating to some but Diplo’s Run Club is for everyone and meant to be a good time for all – both seasoned runners or anyone just starting their running journey. I’m looking forward to running and partying with everyone at the inaugural events in SF and Seattle this fall!”
Diplo, a thirteen-time Grammy nominee, has been a dynamic force in the music industry for over two decades. Known for his groundbreaking contributions to electronic music and his involvement in projects like Major Lazer and Silk City, Diplo has also made significant strides in health and fitness. Recently participating in the Los Angeles Marathon and competing in the Malibu Triathlon, he found himself yearning for a post-race celebration, which inspired the creation of Diplo’s Run Club.
In partnership with Mascot Sports and Wasserman, Diplo’s Run Club aims to provide an inclusive, energetic environment that encourages both physical fitness and communal fun. This initiative is a continuation of Diplo’s entrepreneurial spirit, which has seen him launch successful music labels such as Mad Decent and Higher Ground, and engage in various other ventures, including luxury expeditions for ocean conservation.
