Unlike traditional clubs, it doesn\u2019t stick to a single, repetitive running route that bores participants; instead, it moves flexibly and energetically through the capital\u2019s neighborhoods; one moment you\u2019ll find the group in the quiet residential neighborhoods of Abdoun, the next in the lively streets of Sweifieh, all the way to the intersections of the Seventh Circle or the upscale streets of Dabouq. This variety breaks the routine and makes every run a new experience of exploring the city.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image5650_b6c889-3e .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image5650_b6c889-3e\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Bank-Aletihad-2-1024x581.webp\" alt=\"\u062a\u062c\u0645\u0639 \u0639\u062f\u0627\u0626\u064a \u0646\u0627\u062f\u064a 348 \u0623\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0628\u0646\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u062a\u062d\u0627\u062f \u0641\u064a \u0639\u0645\u0651\u0627\u0646 \u0642\u0628\u0644 \u0627\u0646\u0637\u0644\u0627\u0642 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0643\u0636\u0629\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-5661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Bank-Aletihad-2-1024x581.webp 1024w, https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Bank-Aletihad-2-300x170.webp 300w, https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Bank-Aletihad-2-768x436.webp 768w, https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Bank-Aletihad-2-18x10.webp 18w, https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Bank-Aletihad-2.webp 1257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Meeting Point Before the Start \u2014 348 Running Club in Amman<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The training schedule is fixed and suitable for everyone: Tuesdays and Thursdays at exactly 6:45 a.m., and Saturdays at 7:30 a.m. Running distances typically range from 4 to 6 kilometers depending on the chosen route, but the most important feature is absolute flexibility; each runner runs at their own pace without any pressure to keep up with more experienced runners or to set records to show off on Strava or other <a href=\"https:\/\/urkod.com\/en\/%d8%a3%d9%81%d8%b6%d9%84-5-%d8%aa%d8%b7%d8%a8%d9%8a%d9%82%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d9%84%d9%84%d8%ac%d8%b1%d9%8a-%d9%81%d9%8a-2026\/\">Apps<\/a> The club welcomes beginners taking their first steps, and Arabic and English are used seamlessly, with between 100 and 300 participants in each run. The club has not limited itself to morning runs; it has also clearly made its mark on the community through active participation in major official events such as <a href=\"https:\/\/urkod.com\/en\/sabastian-sawe-sub-2-marathon\/\">Marathon<\/a> The Full Moon Marathon, the Dead Sea Marathon, and the Amman Promenade Race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Zain's Story: From New York to Amman<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind this inspiring initiative we see today stands the founder of the team, Zain Awad. Zain\u2019s journey with running did not begin on the winding hills of Amman, but rather took off amid the bustling skyscrapers and crowded streets of New York City. There, far from home, Zain discovered the magic of running\u2014not as a grueling individual sport requiring intense physical effort, but as a communal experience that provides endless motivation and breaks down the barriers of isolation. In New York, she saw how a group of strangers could gather at dawn, run together, and become a harmonious community despite their different professional and academic backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Zain packed her bags and returned to settle in Amman, she brought that vision with her. She looked at her city and realized she needed to replicate that enriching experience; she sought to create a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming space that would give people a real opportunity to try this sport without feeling intimidated or afraid of running alone on the streets. She wanted to build a bridge connecting people through a shared interest\u2014a place where weary morning runs would gradually turn into genuine friendships and lasting relationships that would redefine social interaction in the city. If you\u2019re wondering\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/urkod.com\/en\/%d9%83%d9%8a%d9%81-%d8%aa%d8%a8%d8%af%d8%a3-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b1%d9%83%d8%b6-%d9%85%d9%86-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b5%d9%81%d8%b1%d8%9f-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%af%d9%84%d9%8a%d9%84-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%83%d8%a7%d9%85%d9%84\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5536\">How to Start Running from Scratch<\/a><\/strong>Zain\u2019s vision has been to create a welcoming community environment for everyone\u2014a space where everyone feels genuinely encouraged. When the day comes that you decide to try running with Team 348, you\u2019ll find hundreds of people ready to lend a helping hand, guiding you from the first kilometer to <a href=\"https:\/\/urkod.com\/en\/arab-world-marathons-classification\/\">Race<\/a> of full Marathon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What makes 348 different?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What truly sets Club 348 apart and makes it an exceptional case in the Jordanian sports scene is that running, as important as it is, actually takes a back seat to community building. The club isn\u2019t just an asphalt track you run down, panting, glancing at your watch, waiting for the hour when you\u2019ll return home; rather, it\u2019s a shared space where everyone feels a sense of belonging, appreciation, and welcome from the moment they arrive\u2014a place that always leaves you looking forward to the next workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The secret to this incredible success lies in the people themselves, says Zain Awad\u2014in that infectious energy that spreads among the runners, and in the shared smiles and constant encouragement at the finish line. This spirit is particularly evident in the spontaneous social gatherings at local cafes after each run, where the place is packed with hundreds of runners chatting and laughing as they sip their coffee and share stories of their morning achievements. This ingenious balance between regular exercise and deep community bonds is the secret formula that drives hundreds to set their alarms and leave their beds before dawn. At 348, you\u2019re not just another number in a race\u2014you\u2019re a member of a running family that grows and expands every morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"5659\" src=\"https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Coffee-1-770x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Coffee-1-770x1024.webp 770w, https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Coffee-1-226x300.webp 226w, https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Coffee-1-768x1021.webp 768w, https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Coffee-1-9x12.webp 9w, https:\/\/urkod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Coffee-1.webp 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><code>A runner from Club 348 at a caf\u00e9 in Amman after finishing his morning run<\/code><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My vision for Club 348 has always been to build a welcoming and inclusive community\u2014a space where anyone, regardless of their running level or experience, feels encouraged to come and be part of a supportive community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Zain Awad, Founder of Club 348 Running Club<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How can you join the next run?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joining Team 348 is completely free and very simple\u2014there are no financial barriers that could prevent you from participating.
