People may come for the activity, but they stay because they find belonging.

That's exactly what happened when Dave Lee started FFP Running Clubs. What began as a casual Tuesday night run from a neighborhood pub has grown into a nonprofit network of more than 40 clubs across multiple states and countries. Along the way, Dave discovered that people weren't showing up just to run—they were showing up to build friendships, support local charities, and become part of something bigger than themselves.

In this episode of Community Case Studies, host Seth Resler explores the community-building principles behind FFP Running Clubs' remarkable growth. Dave explains why communities grow through belonging instead of marketing, why consistency builds trust, how a welcoming first experience shapes long-term success, and why empowering volunteer leaders is the key to scaling a thriving community without losing its culture.

Whether you're building a community around fitness, your business, a nonprofit, or any other shared interest, this episode offers a practical blueprint for creating a place where people don't just show up—they feel like they belong.
