The Magic of Unexpected Collaborations: Our Journey with La Run Gang
In the world of running, community is everything. It's about shared experiences, mutual support, and the joy of moving forward together. This spirit of togetherness is what led us to reach out to La Run Gang, one of the first run clubs we approached for a collaboration.
To be honest, our initial motivation was simple: we were looking to expand our international reach. It started with a casual Instagram DM, sent more in hope than expectation. Little did we know that this small step would lead to something truly special.
Jenna from La Run Gang responded almost immediately, her openness to the idea catching us pleasantly by surprise. While there might have been some initial skepticism (which is understandable!), her warmth and enthusiasm shone through from the start.
What began as a conversation about design collaboration quickly blossomed into something more. We found ourselves sharing thoughts on building running communities, exchanging content creation tips, and discussing the unique challenges and joys of bringing runners together. It didn't feel like work at all – it felt like we were on a long, enjoyable run with newfound friends who matched our pace perfectly.
This collaboration has been a growth experience for both Participation and La Run Gang. We've learned from each other, pushed our creative boundaries, and created something that we're truly proud of. The response from runners worldwide has been beyond our wildest expectations, filling us with gratitude and excitement for what's to come.
While this collection is currently a limited release for the club, the positive feedback we've received has opened our eyes to the power of community-driven collaborations. It's a testament to what can happen when like-minded individuals and groups come together with a shared passion.
To all the runners, clubs, and enthusiasts out there with ideas burning in your minds: we'd love to hear from you. Whether it's a design concept, a community initiative, or just a wild idea you think might work, don't hesitate to reach out. Drop us a line at hello@participationco.com, and let's explore what we can create together.
After all, the best runs – and the best collaborations – often start with a single step. Who knows where it might lead us?
