Move. Connect. Explore.

One community. More ways to move.

The Move Club brings people together through sport, shared experiences and the simple act of showing up. Starting with running in Turin, our ambition is to create more ways for the ESCP community to get active, find their people and make the city feel like home.

Our mission

To make sport a welcoming part of life at ESCP: a way to meet beyond the classroom, build confidence, try something new and feel part of a community.

We want joining an activity to feel simple—not like applying for a team. Come for the sport, stay for the people. You do not need to arrive knowing everyone, owning specialist equipment or seeing yourself as an athlete. Each activity will make its practical requirements clear so you can decide whether it is right for you.

Running is the start, and not the end.

ESCP Running Club Turin is our first active branch. It gives us a starting point for something broader: a student-led community with different ways to move, connect and explore.

Our vision is to grow beyond running into a range of sports and outdoor activities shaped by what members actually want to do. Think a run after lectures, a Pilates session, a weekend hike or a new sport tried with friends. These are possibilities to build towards, not a promise that every activity is already available.

We want to grow thoughtfully: one committed organiser, one well-planned activity and one welcoming group at a time.

What we stand for

• Movement without intimidation. Clear information, a friendly welcome and room to develop at your own pace.
• Connection beyond the classroom. Friendships across programmes, backgrounds and experience levels.
• Exploration through sport. Discovering Turin and its surroundings by getting out together.
• Member-led opportunity. Giving people the chance to bring a sport they love to the community.
• Growth with care. Expanding only when we have the interest, leadership and practical arrangements to deliver a worthwhile experience.

What is happening now—and what comes next

• Running: our active branch, through ESCP Running Club Turin. Check the running homepage and announcements for current sessions and pace groups.
• Pilates: in preparation with Ava; not yet launched.
• Move Hike: planned, with a branch lead still needed; not yet launched.
