You don’t have to join Soho House to enjoy its free run club (and postrun avocado toast)

During the middle of a Sunday morning jog through West Hollywood with a run club, marketing executive and digital strategist Mark Baroth exclaims: “I hate running!” Later on, when I mention it to Soho House Run Club founder Raymond Braun, he bursts into laughter. But the Soho House Run Club, at the social club’s Holloway House outpost in West Hollywood, is quickly proving otherwise. For Soho House Run Club founder Raymond Braun, there’s empowerment in realizing what your body is capable of. After the painful loss of Amoils, who died at the beginning of 2022, with Soho House Run Club Braun has put his efforts into building a community close to his home in West Hollywood “for people who might be too intimidated to join high-performing athletes.” What’s more, though he considers himself still in recovery, after experiencing the life-changing benefits of his OCD treatment program, he wants to help others to be their best by offering an accepting community and an opportunity to cultivate a greater sense of well-being through physical exercise outdoors.
