Ideas travel.

Pollination is what happens when communities meet. A run club in one country can shake hands with a run club in another, so each lets the other's members in as visitors. And a club that starts in one city can open in the next, with its members free to move between them.

People move on. Communities stay.

In cities where people come and go, a group usually fades when its founder leaves. On Pollinate, up to five co-founders run a community alongside its owner and can take it on when the founder moves away. The forum keeps every recommendation, every plan and every welcome for whoever joins next.

Already run a group?

Give it a home where new people nearby can find it and join. Your members read along between meet-ups, and the group keeps going as people come and go.
