Andry grew up with football stitched into his life, spending years in academy squads before making his professional debut at Barnet Fc. Today he plays semi-pro, carrying the discipline and athletic mindset that football instilled in him. Klejdi, his cousin, had a very different start once a dedicated gamer who loved football casually but never took sport seriously.

Everything changed in 2022. What began as a friendly rivalry between the two turned into a shared passion for running. They pushed each other through early miles, testing their egos, then discovered they simply loved the rhythm of running side by side.

By 2023 life got busy and the miles slowed, but in 2024 they came back stronger running half-marathons together every week. Those runs quickly became the highlight of their week. In May 2025 they realised how much running meant to them and how many others might be waiting to find the same spark.

That’s when 25 Run Club was born. After three months of planning, their first meet took place on 6 July 2025, and just weeks later on 18 August they hosted their biggest run yet: 28 runners of all abilities, sharing miles and smiles.

Now the club has its own clothing line and offers custom running plans as part of the membership. And with 2026 on the horizon, Andry and Klejdi are ready to make it the club’s biggest year yet inviting you to be part of the story, lace up, and run with the 25 Run Club family.
