Endorphins Running
The mission of Endorphins is to spread positivity and happiness through movement and exercise. We believe that endorphins, the natural chemicals released during physical activity, promote happiness, positivity, and a general sense of well-being. By engaging in physical activity, people can experience the release of endorphins, which can contribute to feelings of happiness and positivity. We believe running should be fun. And we know that it is more fun when you share the endorphins with other people. We can‘t wait to run with you!
