Absolutely nothing. adidas Runners is completely free and open to you. The only payment we ask for is your commitment and your drive, which you’ll be bringing with your legs.

It is necessary to connect your adidas account to your Runtastic account when you first join a community in the Runtastic app.

This is an important step, as it enables the Runtastic app to provide up to date information about upcoming events, to confirm your participation at events, and to display your current adidas Runners level and statistics.

You only need to carry out this step once, so if you’re joining multiple communities, you won’t need to connect your adidas account every time. If you need help connecting your adidas account to Runtastic, please see here.

We take it you’re at least 18 years old and committed to joining our journey? If that’s a yes, then let nothing else stand in your way!

Whether you already have a few marathons under your belt or you’re finding your feet within the world of running, adidas Runners communities have experts on hand to make sure you’re looked after at running events. So whatever your speed, you won’t be left behind. There are separate speed groups for all paces, and support runners will be there to ensure you get your kilometers in with someone there alongside you.

All communication to and from the adidas Runners captains will be carried out within their respective Facebook groups. Each community has its own dedicated Facebook group where the latest updates, announcements, and all information you need for upcoming events will be communicated.
