Celebrating the Runners Who Make Runday Special
At Runday, every runner has a story worth sharing. Some begin their journey out of curiosity. Others come to test their limits. All of them contribute to the unique atmosphere that makes Runday more than just a race.
Today, we’re introducing you to Oleksandr Krashan, known simply as Alex, a marketer and passionate outdoor enthusiast who discovered that running could be much more than exercise.
A Life Full of Movement
For as long as he can remember, Alex has embraced an active lifestyle. Whether it’s cycling through new places or gliding over water on a SUP board, he thrives on the freedom of movement. He even started his own event called sup2coffee, where participants paddle their SUP boards and enjoy coffee together at the finish line — a perfect blend of sport and social connection.
Among his proudest achievements is the time he completed 21 x 2 km in his younger years, proving to himself that endurance is as much a mindset as it is a physical skill.
The Day Running Became Community
Alex didn’t come to Runday through a grand plan. Like many runners, he first discovered it somewhere online — maybe through the Nike Club, maybe on Facebook. The exact source doesn’t matter as much as what he found when he arrived. The first time he volunteered was actually by accident — he turned up late for a run. But instead of going home, he decided to help out. That small decision made him feel part of something bigger from the very start.
The Fastest Run Ever
Running has a way of creating unforgettable moments, and Alex has a story that always makes people smile. One day, halfway through a race, a dog began chasing him. Adrenaline kicked in, and he sprinted faster than ever before. That unexpected burst of speed was a reminder that sometimes a little surprise is all you need to reach your potential.
The Creative Side of Running
Many people run to clear their minds, but for Alex, running does the opposite—it fills his mind with ideas. He says that while he’s moving, creative thoughts flow naturally. New projects, fresh campaigns, and concepts often take shape during those quiet kilometres on the path.
A Friendly Place for Everyone
When Alex describes Runday, he always mentions how welcoming it feels. Whether you’re a first-timer or a record chaser, everyone is treated like part of the same family. The location he runs in has become a space where he can recharge, connect with others, and keep working towards his personal goal: becoming the fastest runner.
Why Runday Matters
Runday isn’t just a weekly event. It’s a community built on kindness, shared motivation, and a love of movement. For Alex, it’s a reminder that no matter what pace you choose, you’re always moving forward — together.
