Charlie Dark has spent his life creating space. From the dance floors of London to the streets of Hackney, he’s always been in tune with rhythm — first through music, and now through miles. As the founder of Run Dem Crew, Charlie helped spark a global movement of running collectives rooted in creativity, inclusivity, and personal growth. In this episode, Howie joins Charlie in London to reflect on the culture of running, the power of ritual, and the deep responsibility of leadership. He shares his beginnings as a DJ, why he sees running as a form of meditation, and how he’s working to protect the joy and accessibility of the sport. Whether you’re chasing a finish line or just trying to stay grounded in an overstimulated world, Charlie offers a grounded, generous perspective on what it means to move with purpose.
