It started in May 2024. Going through a tough time, our founder Chadrack just wanted to create a space to be around good people.
He organised a run at Willen Lake. Seven people showed up. During that run, one person started to fall behind. Instead of leaving them, Chadrack went back — walking and running alongside them, every step of the way, right to the finish line.
In that moment, the core philosophy of NLB was born: nobody gets left behind, EVER.
From those original seven, we've watched members go from walking 2.5K to crossing the finish line of a half marathon. No matter your level, your pace, or your ability — you are welcome here.
