"It was great to have the opportunity to mix-it-up last night with GeN+1 who brought together one of my outside interests with some like-minded folks from the data centre community."
“For years I have wanted to join a run club but kept finding excuses not to as I was very nervous about not being a good enough runner. The Gen+1 Run Club were so welcoming and inclusive, that it gave me the courage to give it a go, and I’m so pleased I joined as it’s growing into a wonderful community filled with lots of support and, surprisingly, plenty of people who felt exactly like I did! I’m excited to be part of the club now, and it’s the perfect opportunity to step out of your comfort zone, meet new people, and explore London too – and whether you decide to walk, run, or hit PBs, it’s guaranteed to leave you feeling amazing!”
"GeN +1 community genuinely helped me to meet other runners and it supported me so much mentally and physically. I am so glad to meet you as we are aiming at the same goal even though we work for different companies."
Our impact sponsors support the GeN+1 community to grow and thrive; they are invested in our vision helping us to give more to the future of the data centre industry.
The forward thinking and encouraging nature of these companies help to bring our events to life!
These industry partners support our mission, giving younger talent the opportunity to mingle with the big dogs!

“I enjoy taking part in these Run clubs as it gives me a chance to meet new people/socialise while keeping active and fit. Also helps motivate me to run more. Plus everyone is always so friendly and I have never noticed anyone left ton their own.”
