Races, group runs and training meetups across the capital, for first 5Ks through to ultras.
We are not here to build the fastest runners in Islamabad. We are here to build a community that shows up for each other, discovers the city on foot, and keeps the capital moving, one run at a time.
Coached 400s and 800s with easy recoveries between. Scalable to every level, and yes, we run it in the heat.
Hill repeats and switchbacks on the trails above the city. Strength for your legs and views over the capital.
Longer city miles with pace groups, so nobody runs alone. Inclusive and free of cost.
An easy 5K around Lake View, then chai and conversation. The best first run with the club.
“Saturday nights felt empty before the long run. Now it's the part of my week I plan everything else around.”
“The pace groups made it easy to join as a complete beginner. Nobody judged, everyone just showed up.”
“I moved to Islamabad knowing nobody. The club was the first place that felt like home.”
“Interval Tuesdays in June are brutal, and I wouldn't miss one.”
“Running the trails with a group is a different sport. You climb further when people are waiting at the top.”
“I signed up for fitness. Three months later I have friends I actually see off the route.”
“My daughter and I both run with IRC now. Ages 10 to 80 is not a slogan.”
“Finished my first marathon with the people I met on a Sunday social run.”
“Saturday nights felt empty before the long run. Now it's the part of my week I plan everything else around.”
No. IRC runs from first 5Ks to ultras, with pace groups for different goals, so there is always a group at your speed.
Our members range from 10 to 80 years old. Younger runners join with a parent or guardian.
In Islamabad’s parks, trails and streets, from neighbourhood routes to the Margalla Hills. Each event lists its meeting point.
Comfortable running shoes, water, and something reflective for early morning or night runs.
