The miles we share.
Community is built by showing up—for the first mile, the long day, and the person beside you.

Our community, in real lifePeople first.
People first.
Movement always.
Before the Crew had a name, people and communities helped shape Run Slick. Their experiences remind us why movement, connection, and being useful matter.
Community story · Ainsley's Angels
Meet Callie.
Callie was the first Angel Rider our founder pushed alongside Ainsley's Angels. That experience helped shape our belief that movement is about more than finishing—it can create joy, connection, and belonging for people and families.

Independent community spotlight
Southern Running Collective.
An Atlanta-area community helping middle- and back-of-the-pack runners find connection, confidence, and pace-inclusive resources. Their work deserves recognition in its own right.

The community stories here celebrate real people and organizations, independently of Crew membership. Public member profiles will be published only after approval.
There's room for every story.

Two ways to move with us
Find your place in the Crew.
Community building and content creation are different ways to contribute. Choose the one that interests you—or both. Neither requires an elite race result or a large following.
01 / COMMUNITYConnection first
Community Crew.
Help more people feel welcome, comfortable, and excited to move.
- Share honest product feedback from your own activities.
- Help introduce Run Slick at group runs, hikes, events, or community gatherings.
- Make introductions to clubs, organizations, and local retailers.
- Help us understand what your community actually needs.
No content quota or required social posts.I'm interested in Community Crew →
02 / CREATORStories in motion
Creator Crew.
Document real product experiences in your own voice and style.
- Film honest moments: applying the roll-on, moving, and sharing what you noticed.
- Contribute raw vertical clips, photos, or product feedback when agreed.
- Explore clearly scoped gifted testing or paid content projects.
- Help us show what movement and comfort look like across different bodies and activities.
Deliverables, compensation, and usage rights agreed for each project. Posting to your own channels is optional unless separately agreed.I'm interested in Creator Crew →
Everyone is welcome to share feedback. A gifted product test does not require content creation. If we commission photos or videos, we agree on the deliverables, compensation, deadline, and where the work may be used in advance. No one is required to give a positive endorsement.
What you get
Support worth showing up for.
This is a two-way community. We want to support people who contribute, not just ask for content or introductions. Opportunities are practical and agreed individually.
Community Crew
Tools to bring people along.
- A real welcome. A direct introduction, clear guidelines, and the chance to shape how this Crew grows.
- Product to test. For agreed product-testing activities, Run Slick provides the product and welcomes honest feedback.
- Sampling support. For selected clubs, events, and community activities, we'll plan sample quantities together.
- Recognition on your terms. An optional public member profile and opportunities to share the work that matters to you.
Creator Crew
Creative work with clarity.
- Real product experiences. Test Run Slick in the activities you actually do, without pressure to say only positive things.
- Defined projects. Each commissioned brief specifies what to film or photograph, the timeline, and how to submit.
- Fair value exchange. Content assignments include agreed compensation or benefits; substantial deliverables aren't assumed in return for one bottle.
- Control over your work. Organic usage, paid advertising, credit, and the use of your likeness are agreed separately.
What we ask
Be genuine. Be useful. Stay involved.
As a founding member, we'll work with you to find one meaningful first activity or feedback touchpoint during the pilot. There is no follower minimum, sales quota, mandatory monthly post, or general requirement to promote Run Slick. Individual creator assignments are opt-in and have their own terms. No product, payments, or publication is guaranteed simply by joining.
How joining works
Start with your story.
The best Crew isn't a list of influencers. It's a group of people who care about movement, contribute in ways that fit their lives, and bring others along.
01
Tell us about yourself
Choose Community Crew, Creator Crew, or both. Tell us what moves you, who you move with, and what interests you. An Instagram profile is required for this founding pilot, but follower count doesn't matter; private accounts are welcome.
02
We review each application
We're starting with a small U.S.-based founding group and looking for genuine involvement, not follower counts.
03
We build together
Community opportunities are flexible. Creator assignments come with their own clear brief, compensation, and usage permissions.
Frequently asked questions
Good questions.
Do I need a large following?
No. We value community involvement, honesty, and kindness more than follower counts.
Do I need to be a competitive athlete?
No. Running, walking, hiking, adaptive movement, and other ways of moving are all welcome.
Does joining cost anything?
There is no membership fee. Product and sampling support depend on the opportunities involved.
Will I be required to post on social media?
No general posting requirement applies simply for joining. Specific activities would be discussed and agreed separately.
Who can apply to the first group?
For the founding pilot, we're focusing on people age 18 and older based in the United States.
Does joining mean I appear on the website?
No. Public athlete profiles and use of photos or stories require separate approval and can be declined.
What is the difference between Community Crew and Creator Crew?
Community Crew focuses on showing up for people: testing, sampling, clubs and events. Creator Crew focuses on creating authentic media from real product use. You can express interest in both.
Do Creator Crew projects include payment?
Some opportunities are simple product testing with feedback. For planned photos or video deliverables, we agree on the project scope and compensation in advance. No public social posting is required unless specifically agreed.
Founding Crew 2027
Tell us what moves you.
You don't need a sports résumé or thousands of followers. Choose Community Crew, Creator Crew, or both. Tell us about your movement and the community you care about. No follower threshold.
Apply to the founding Crew.
While we finish activating the dedicated application, you can use our existing Run Slick contact form to introduce yourself. In the message, tell us which path interests you (Community, Creator, or Both), how you move, your city/state, and why you'd like to join. Include your Instagram profile or @handle (required for the founding pilot), plus an optional photo or portfolio link if you wish.
Open the application contact form →This is a temporary application route. Please include your Instagram profile in the message; the basic contact form cannot validate it as a required field. Photos cannot be uploaded through this form, but you can include a shared image link. The dedicated inline application will replace this fallback once the Crew theme is activated. Nothing you share will be published without separate approval. Submitting does not subscribe you to marketing. Privacy policy.
