Why more single people are turning to run clubs and ditching dating apps

Tired of spending their days swiping through potential matches on dating apps, single people across the country are now hitting the pavement and joining run clubs as a fresh and active way to meet others. 

For some, this means ditching the fluorescent blue light of a smartphone for the early morning sunshine.

At the Chicago Run Collective meeting point in Chicago, Illinois, hundreds of runners gather as early as 8 a.m. to stretch, warm up, and chat. For many, these morning runs offer an opportunity to connect with potential partners while staying fit and healthy.
