The esteemed run club, Wellbeing And Nurturing Kindness Run Club, also known as the W.A.N.K.R-Club , is renowned for its early morning athleticism and people that love chatting and running with dozens of strangers at 6am.
Recently, W.A.N.K.R-Club found itself in an unlikely showdown against an unexpected challenger: a lad on a bender desperately seeking a shop where he can find a vape.
Witnesses report that the group of 40 runners cruising at a steady but quick pace was overtaken by a young lad still in his Friday night get up trying to reach the convenience store before it shut.
Jesse Mercer (26) never really fancied himself as an athlete, but after his run in with W.A.N.K.R-Club, he’s looking at things a lot differently.
“I could see the big group of them up ahead and to be honest I was too off my head to fully make out what I was even looking at”
“At first I thought it might be some sort of street party, then I noticed they were actually running and thought they might be trying to run away from me.” Jesse recounted
“As I got closer to them I saw they weren’t even on a night, they were starting their day.”
While the fact people were starting their Saturday with a 6am run was confronting to Jesse, the more surprising thing was the fact that it was so easy for Jesse to breeze past them.
“They call themselves runners? I know for a fact my search for a vape was longer than their jog and I was able to overtake them like it was nothing.” Jesse boasted.
Jesse’s new found discovery that he’s quite the athletic weapon when push comes to shove on a Saturday morning bender has led to him start his own run club, the Up Late And Cooked At 6am run club.
