Training is a bleja.
Who says a run can't be a pure bleja? We run Wednesdays and Sundays around Niš, come meet us out there. ☁️👟
Schedule
Fixed times. No excuses, plenty of good energy.
A tempo-bleja through the city. Every pace welcome, no one's left alone on the route.
A weekend distance in good company. Exact location goes out in the WhatsApp group.
Who we are
A crew from Niš who decided running doesn't have to be serious to be good. No leaderboards, no pressure, just music, laughs and the occasional bleja after the run. We know your first time is a bit scary, so come meet us out there.
Over 100 people!!! Thanks to everyone who shows up and makes this BLEJA amazing.

What your first run looks like
First time? No one bites.
Show up, meet the crew
You check in at the meeting spot, someone greets you, no one's left alone.
Easy warm-up
A few minutes of stretching and chatting, no rush.
Run your own pace
The crew spreads out by speed, everyone runs what feels right.
Hang out after
Coffee, laughs and plans for next time. That's where the real bleja happens.
What the crew says
Don't take our word for it, here's what runners say
I showed up alone the first time and stayed for the crew. Now I don't miss a Wednesday or Sunday.
I thought I had to be fast to run with the group. Wrong, here everyone goes at their own pace.
Best part of the week. We run, talk nonsense, grab coffee after. What more do you need.
I was sure someone would be waiting at the finish line like a judge. Instead the crew was waiting with a smile.
Questions
Everything on your mind before the first run
Is membership actually free?
Yep, 100% free. No membership fee, no hidden costs, just show up and run. 👟
What should I bring?
Running shoes, comfortable gear and good vibes. Bring water if summer hits you hard, we've got the rest as a crew.
How fast do you run?
Everyone runs their own pace, no pressure. The crew waits for each other, no one's left alone on the route.
It's my first time, I'm a little nervous.
Everyone's first time felt weird. You show up, meet the crew, run your pace, done. No one bites. 😄
What if it rains?
We run anyway. Rain never stopped a good bleja. ☔
Why run in the evening during summer?
When it gets hot, we start at 9pm instead of 7pm, same location. ☀️
Why does the jersey cost money if membership is free?
The jersey is sold at cost, the club doesn't profit from it. All money raised, from jerseys and other sales, goes back into growing the club.
First time? Come on, no one bites. 😄
We know a first visit is always a bit scary. So come meet us right there at the run.
