Running crew There is a distinction between a running club and crew, the latter emerged in the early 2000s, and they differ from traditional running clubs as the focus is on urban running on city streets. One of the crews widely considered to be the first is the Bridge Runners formed by Mike Saes in New York City in 2004.In 2006, Charlie Dark formed Run Dem Crew in London which has since grown to several hundred people who meet every Tuesday, and has led to Dark receiving a Points of Light award from the UK prime minister Theresa May for his dedication to establishing the alternative running community.
