A TikTok user by the name of Ruwi has gone viral for joining accidentally joining a gay run club for a half-marathon training session, saying the experience was ‘out of my comfort zone’, but that the group were ‘so welcoming’.

The run club is part of gayns (a play on words from the word ‘gains’, which means muscle growth), an events company with the mission of improving gay and queer people’s health, fitness and connection to community.

The ‘gayns presents: roadrunner’ is a free, weekly run club for queer people held on Saturday mornings, but the company also hosts different, one-off events, such as marathon training, or half marathon runs.

And TikTok user Ruwi, by the handle of @mo0nriverandme0, is currently going viral with a video of her accidentally joining one of those sessions without realising they’re primarily geared towards the alphabet mafia.

In the video, which has been viewed 1.7 million times at time of writing, Ruwi joins a group of (dare we say) strapping young men all limbering up for a half-marathon training session ahead of London’s The Big Half (7 September).

I acc kept looking for my group until I clocked that I signed up for something that I didn’t know about, they were so lovely and welcoming tho I just didn’t really fit in clearly
