WELCOME TO STRIDERZ RUN CLUB - Vancouver
A Running Community for Every Body and Every Pace
Striderz Run Club is more than a running group — we are a community built on belonging, encouragement, and shared growth. Based in Vancouver, Canada, we bring runners and walkers together every week to enjoy movement, support one another, and celebrate progress no matter the pace.
Whether you’re lacing up for your first run, rebuilding consistency, chasing a personal goal, or simply looking for supportive friends to move with — you’re in the right place.
"Striderz Run Club was built from one hard run — and the group that didn’t leave me behind."
— Rabih Majzoub, Founder & Head Coach
Our Why: Belonging Before Performance
Running can be intimidating when you do it alone — especially if you’ve never felt like you “fit the mold.” Striderz Run Club exists to change that. We believe:
- Everyone deserves a place where they feel welcome
- Progress is personal, not competitive
- Consistency and connection matter more than pace and podiums
We’ve created a non-judgmental and inclusive running and walking club where people show up as they are and are supported exactly where they are.
Who We’re For
Striderz Run Club is for:
- Beginners and walkers ready to get moving
- Comeback runners returning after time off
- Goal-chasing runners looking for structured guidance
- Anyone who wants community with their miles
All fitness levels, body types, and experience levels are welcome — no ego, no exclusion, just encouragement.

At the heart of Striderz is connection — people supporting people. We know that you show up more often, stay consistent longer, and reach your goals further when you feel seen and supported.
We don’t chase performance at the cost of connection — we build connection because it fuels performance. That’s why our social runs are open to all paces and abilities, and our coaching always meets you where you are.
Meet Rabih Majzoub, Founder of Striderz Run Club
I almost quit running after my very first group run.
It happened in Montreal, when I joined a local running group with very little experience. The run was brutal. I struggled to keep up, questioned why I showed up, and wondered if I even belonged. But the group didn’t leave me behind. They encouraged me, stayed with me, and helped me finish. I was exhausted — but I also felt accomplished. More than that, I felt supported. That moment changed how I understood running. I realized it wasn’t just about fitness or performance, but about confidence, resilience, and showing up on hard days.
As my journey continued, I became a certified personal trainer, group fitness coach, and run coach, always focused on helping people move safely, build confidence, and feel capable in their own bodies. I’ve been honoured to be nominated for Top Fitness Awards in 2021 and 2022, but recognition has never been the goal. What matters most is seeing someone complete something they once thought was impossible.
Striderz Run Club was built from that first difficult group run.
It was created around a simple belief: community comes first. Progress looks different for everyone, and no one should feel left behind. Today, Striderz brings beginners, walkers, comeback runners, and experienced athletes together in a supportive space where belonging comes before performance.
Because when people feel supported, consistency follows — and that’s where real transformation begins.
