Networking that really feels useful.

The RUN (The Really Useful Network) is a fresh take on business networking — one that’s relaxed, supportive, and built around real relationships.

Be part of something new - and really useful.

Our very successful launch event! Plenty of valuable connections, insights, dances and laughs!

Our Purpose

  • The RUN exists to offer real support, genuine connection and practical guidance — not just for your business, but for you too.

  • We blend friendship and fun with really useful tools and ideas to help you move forward, whatever stage you're at.

  • Whether you need business advice, personal encouragement, or just a space to connect with like-minded people, you'll feel right at home at The RUN.

At the heart of every RUN is YOU.

Our vision is to create a vibrant, inclusive and inspiring community that champions real connections and long-term support for the growth of people and businesses of all shapes and sizes.

We believe that success looks different for everyone — and that the best way to get there is together.
