Our Story

Who We Are

We are a wellness community based in Abuja, Nigeria. We organize running events, wellness gatherings, and storytelling campaigns that bring people together through movement and connection.

More Than a Movement

Nigeria is running.

Not for medals. Not for social media. For mental health. For community. For survival. For joy.
We saw it before it became obvious. In 2024, one woman ran 31km on her birthday and invited strangers to join her. They came. Not because they knew her. Because they needed what she was offering. Permission to show up. A place to belong. A reason to keep moving when everything in them wanted to stop.

That day, something shifted.
By 2025, we had sold out a charity run at the National Stadium. We had partnered with organizations fighting breast cancer. We had built a digital campaign that reached over 100,000 people in 31 days. No billboards. No celebrity endorsements. Just real stories from real runners.
Now, we are launching Run Fest 2026. Not a race. A celebration. People running 30km or 16km. Then staying for the music, the food, the recovery, the joy. Because finishing is not the end. It is the beginning of something bigger.

We are building a community where everyone belongs. The first-timer who is scared to show up. The woman who runs to clear her head. The volunteer who arrives at 5 AM to hand out water. The brand that believes in the power of movement.
This is not a running club. This is a home.
The beginning was 2024. The movement is now.
Lace up. Show up. Run with us.

Our Core Values

Community First

We show up for each other. Every event, every circle, every finish line — built on the belief that we're stronger together.

Consistency

Progress lives in the everyday. We celebrate showing up — whether it's your first 1K or your fiftieth race.

Purpose

Everything we do is intentional. Events designed to connect. Circles designed to heal. A community designed to empower.

Inclusivity

Every body. Every pace. Every background. This community was designed to hold everyone — no exceptions.

Care

We look after our people. From event safety to emotional support, care is woven into every decision we make.

Excellence

We hold ourselves to a high standard — not perfectionism, but genuine effort. Because our community deserves the best.

Princess Aimuan
Founder & Community Lead

Meet the Founder

"I began running at a time when I needed something to hold onto. The road became my reset button, my proof that I could keep going even when life felt heavy."

Princess Aimuan is passionate about people's health and fitness. Not because it is trendy. Because it saved her life.

She lost someone dear to her. The grief broke her. She fell into depression, filled her days with junk food, and struggled to catch her breath because she was overweight. She was not living. She was surviving.

Then running found her.

Step by step, mile by mile, she found her way back. She lost the weight. But more importantly, she found her confidence. Running carried her through some of the darkest moments of her life. It gave her a reason to get up. A reason to keep moving. A reason to believe that tomorrow could be different.

Today, Princess has been working out for over a decade. She has run three marathons on two continents. She has lost count of her half marathons. She trains Hyrox and CrossFit. In 2019, she was crowned the 4th fittest female in Abuja. But those achievements are not her motivation.

Her motivation is simple. She wants to inspire the world to move.

Every year in August, her birthday month, she dedicates her time and effort to bringing people together to run. Not for glory. Not for money. Because she knows what it feels like to be stuck. And she knows what it feels like to break free. She does not ask anyone to do what she has not done herself. She leads. She sweats. She finishes.

Today, she is building Nigeria's most inclusive running community. To share the joy of running. To share the gift of health and fitness. To remind everyone who feels stuck that they are not alone.

That is Princess Aimuan. That is Run With Princess.
