Grammy-winning artist, producer and DJ Diplo unveils dates for the highly anticipated 2026-2027 season of Diplo’s Run Club.
“The last two years of Diplo’s Run Club have been so amazing and I’m stoked to bring it back for season three,” says Diplo. “Music and fitness are such large parts of my life—it’s very special for me to be able to share both of those things with my fans together in one event. We had a hundred thousand people run and party with me last year; I can’t wait to do it with even more people this time around.”
Diplo’s Run Club takes runners on a 5K through urban centers, followed by a mini music festival featuring performances from Diplo and friends. From iconic stadiums and waterfront parks to historic venues and city landmarks, each stop delivers a one-of-a-kind event. Prioritizing health and wellness for runners, Diplo’s Run Club also provides unique health activations at each run. Each event features partner-led giveaways and experiences—from foot massages to strength testing games and more—presented by brands in various wellness categories such as footwear, athletic wear, supplements, energy drinks and cross-training.
The news follows the Run Club’s recent honor as one of Fast Company’s 2026 Most Innovative Companies, ranking in the wellness and personal care sector as well as the overall list. Recognized for an extremely successful second season that saw more than 100,000 runners, the upcoming third season yet again expands in size and scope with two new stops—Chicago and Denver. Diplo’s Run Club will return to New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco and Philadelphia.

Diplo’s Run Club merges the worlds of music and fitness in a first-of-its-kind community-building party. Diplo, who runs each event in addition to DJing the mini-music festival to follow, founded the Run Club to continue his commitment to leading in the wellness space. The Run Club encourages fans to live a healthy and active lifestyle, and more than half of the participants across the events are first-time 5k runners.
Last season, guest DJs including Mark Ronson, A-Trak, Dillon Francis and TOKiMONSTA celebrated runners at the events with electric post-run sets. A host of Diplo’s friends also joined him to run and party, with Camila Cabello, A$AP Ferg, Macklemore, Alexi Pappas and more making appearances.
Beyond the event days, Diplo’s Run Club focuses efforts to help each city on the tour in partnership with PLUS1, a nonprofit that helps artists and brands maximize philanthropic impact. Run Club donates a portion of proceeds to the national nonprofit Good Sports, who provide equitable access to youth sports in high-need communities. In 2025, the Run Club donated 16,447 pieces of equipment, impacted 16,604 children and supported 45 youth organizations nationwide. Diplo was recognized by the mayors of Seattle and San Francisco for his work in the cities, with the latter naming a day in his honor.
Fitness has always been a major part of Diplo’s life: for a man who travels 300 days a year, he squeezes in workouts no matter where he is in the world. Diplo originally came up with the idea for this event series after he ran the Miami half marathon and then found himself at the club with other runners craving a post-workout celebration.
Recognized for his wide-ranging entrepreneurial endeavors, Diplo has successfully launched brands and pioneered new landscapes throughout his career—whether that’s turning his era-defining labels Mad Decent and Higher Ground into live incarnations around the globe or organizing a luxury expedition to Antarctica to raise funds for ocean conservation.
Diplo, born Thomas Wesley Pentz, is a recording artist, record producer, DJ and entrepreneur. Over the course of a 20-year career, Diplo has collaborated with the world’s biggest stars and toured the world over.
