It all started with a few runners and a big idea.
Darko Najdovski, Ilco Trajkovski, Darko Brezovski and Antonia Brezovska had been running with NRC when they traveled to the Bridge The Gap event in Belgrade. The energy there hit different. They came home to Skopje knowing they had to build something of their own — an urban running crew rooted in one simple idea: travel, run, party, repeat. Word spread fast, and more and more runners joined the squad.
Why 091?
091 is the old telephone prefix for Skopje — our city, our roots. This crew is built by real Skopje people, for anyone who wants to move. Over the years, our members have traveled to races across Europe and the US, making friends everywhere and proving that running knows no borders.
From cheering to organizing
All those race-day memories around the globe inspired us to give back at home. We set up a legendary cheering zone at the Skopje Marathon — so loud, so wild, the organizers gave us an award for it. That was just the beginning.
Now we host our own urban street race every November, followed by a birthday party that has become a Skopje tradition. We are here to bring crew running culture to the city.
