Symptoms include: 🤑registering for races without checking for discounts first 👟Paying full price for running shoes when outlet stores exist 🫣Feeling like running was made for people with more money than you 👯‍♀️Showing up to a run club and feeling underdressed because you cannot afford the matching set everyone else is wearing I have been making content about budget running and financial accessibility in this sport for over a year because these symptoms are real and nobody was talking about them honestly. I just ran the London Marathon as a charity runner for Team Sense and it was funded almost entirely by donations from people who believed in this journey before it had a finish line. And I’m still a budget runner. That finish line did not change my bank account. It changed what I know is possible. If you are new here, I’m @budgetrunnerbestie and I post race discounts, budget gear finds and honest conversations about what it actually costs to be a runner when money is not unlimited. Follow along because running belongs to you too and you deserve a place at the start line. 🧡My Team Sense fundraiser is still open for five more weeks.
