ABOUT OUR CLUB

Our vision is to create a welcoming, inclusive community where people of all ages and abilities can move, laugh, and grow together. We encourage families—siblings, parents, and friends alike—to join in the fun, whether you walk, roll, or run. Everyone belongs here.

INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY

DEGU, stands for “Don’t Ever Give Up.” It’s inspired by the degu—a small, social rodent from Chile known for living in supportive groups and never leaving anyone behind. That same spirit of connection, resilience, and encouragement is at the heart of our club.

WHY “DEGU”?
