September 29, 2026

New collaboration includes limited-edition performance socks and activations across the national 5K series; Diplo’s Run Club will make its Chicago debut this Saturday, Oct. 3, with more than 8,000 runners

CHICAGO (September 29, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Diplo’s Run Club today announced a new partnership with Stance, naming the performance and lifestyle brand the Official Sock Partner of its 2026-27 national 5K and music festival series. The collaboration includes a limited-edition Stance x Diplo’s Run Club running sock and on-site activations at select events throughout the tour.

The Stance x Diplo’s Run Club Crew is a custom take on one of Stance’s best-selling running socks, reimagined in Diplo’s Run Club signature colorways.

Designed for the unique energy of the series, the sock is built to perform from the starting line through the post-race concert while serving as a keepsake from the experience.

Featuring medium cushioning, targeted cushioning and arch support, the performance sock delivers a secure, locked-in fit. The limited-edition crew is priced at $20 and available in medium and large.

Diplo’s Run Club takes participants through a timed 5K before transitioning into a mini music festival featuring Diplo and special guests. Diplo runs each event before taking the stage, creating a format designed to bring together fitness, music and community.

Now in its third season, Diplo’s Run Club is building on a 2025 campaign that welcomed more than 100,000 runners. More than half of participants across the series are first-time 5K runners. Diplo’s Run Club was also recognized by Fast Company as one of its 2026 Most Innovative Companies.

Stance will activate at select events throughout the remainder of the season, with additional market-specific details to be announced.

The eight-event season includes Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego and Phoenix. The Stance x Diplo’s Run Club Crew is available through Stance and at Diplo’s Run Club merchandise booths during the 2026-27 season.
