About the club

We’re not a race team.
We’re a habit.

RUN 34 is a free running community in Tiruchengode. No membership fee, no qualifying pace. Every Sunday · 6:00 AM - we meet on the same ground and run.

  1. It started with a few people and one road

    No club house, no coaching fees, no qualifying time. A handful of runners agreed on a place and an hour, showed up, and kept showing up. Everything RUN 34 is now grew out of that one habit.

  2. Built on people, not pace

    Schoolkids, first-timers, parents, marathoners - they all line up on the same start. The fast runners loop back. Nobody finishes alone, and nobody is asked what their timing is before they're welcome.

  3. Every Sunday, before the town wakes up

    The circle forms, the briefing runs two minutes, the warm-up runs five, and then the road takes over. Afterwards there's coffee, arguments about splits, and plans for the next one.

The committee

The people behind the run

They set the route, keep the group moving and answer your messages - and they line up on the same start as everyone else.

Founder & President

Dinesh MUPA

More than 25 marathons in, and still on the same start line as a first-timer. Dinesh founded RUN 34 and leads it as President - a club with no membership fee, no coaching fees and no qualifying time. A place, an hour, and whoever shows up. That was the whole idea at the start, and it is still the whole idea now: turn up on a Sunday, and you are one of us.
