About

Lactic Acid Junkies

LAJ Run Crew seeks to serve and support its members by creating a running and fitness community through event management, informal coaching, and public service. We run four days a week. We do charity events, mostly cancer research, and also do a plogging run (trash run) every last Saturday of the month.



We have evolved into a niche community serving the running members of the Madrid expat community. We have a hugely diverse membership from more than a dozen nations. Though our de facto language is English, many times our run conversations will be in German Spanish, or Chinese.

We seek to motivate runners through contests, loyalty cards, and completion prizes. We also run several different groups at different paces led by experienced runners so that no runner feels left out of the community and every runner can achieve their goals.
