Queer Bridges Run Club

Have you ever wanted to join a running group but didn’t quite feel ready? Or maybe you’re just getting started and want to connect with other queer people to talk about sports and movement? Then the Queer Bridges Run Club is just right for you!

The Queer Bridges Run Club is led by neo seefried – a non-binary running enthusiast currently training for a marathon.

We’ll start at the Village with a group warm-up, head out for a relaxed 5–6 km run (around 6’30 pace) to Gleisdreieck Park, and come back afterwards for drinks, snacks, and open conversation.

Come in sportswear and don’t forget your water bottle!

* Please be aware that this is a physical activity. Participants should have the physical ability to participate safely in the run. If you have any health concerns or medical conditions, please consult a healthcare professional before joining. Listen to your body and run at your own pace.

neo seefried (*1995) is a freelance cultural mediator, curator, artist and author with a focus on queer realities, club culture and social participation. Living and working in Berlin, neo combines educational formats such as workshops, podcasts and exhibitions with an activist, intersectional practice.

Queer Bridges: Forging connections and providing resources for LGBTQIA+ people with migration experiences.

Queer people with migrant backgrounds in Berlin often face unique challenges in their daily lives that can limit their access to supportive communities and inclusive environments.

With the support of the Deutsche Fernsehlotterie Stiftung, we have developed the Queer Bridges program to overcome these barriers. We provide resources, networking and support in a welcoming environment for queer immigrants and refugees through our special program. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging to the local LGBTQIA+ community, enabling smooth integration and an improved quality of life for queer folks with experiences of migration and/or displacement.

✅ Our Queer Bridges program will continue to evolve and we are always happy to hear about your needs. If you are interested, you can send us an e-mail to stay informed about further updates.
