After years in the world of sustainability and design, friends Lily and Guy set out to build something better. Not just another sportswear brand, but a club. A movement. A slightly sweaty revolution. Believing that kit should do more than look good—it should do good. And if it fits beautifully and lasts forever? Even better.
Leading The Long Run Club with a mission to kit out teams doing brilliant things (without wrecking the planet in the process) and always ride their bikes with a smile.
The Long Run Club make custom cycling and running kit for organisations who want their team to look sharp, feel fast, and do good. Think corporate wellness rides, charity events, eco-conscious challenges, and anything else that combines movement and meaning. We're a B Corp (fancy), create award winning kit (also fancy), and exist to make sustainable, high-performance teamwear the default—not the afterthought.

At the heart of Tales to Inspire is a simple idea: everyone has a story and those stories, especially from underrepresented voices, have the power to inspire meaningful change at every level of society.
