Our Story as Told by the Founders
Coureur Du Dimanche - French running brand
Coureur Du Dimanche is a French running brand, founded in 2015, that develops technical equipment combining performance and style.
Hello everyone, here are Maxime, Florian and Mathieu, founders of Coureur Du Dimanche, and for once, we are going to tell you our story, working together behind a keyboard.
For 11 years, we have devoted all our energy to building our universe: imagining products, developing materials, creating collections, meeting runners, partners, suppliers, and growing Coureur Du Dimanche, a brand but above all a human adventure.
Let's go back to 2015, when running started to change. Easy to access, more and more people started running, races multiplied, the phenomenon grew. Yet running gear remained marked by the same codes: a lot of technology, a lot of performance, and often the same colors, the same silhouettes, and the same origins.
We wanted to offer something different.
Clothes designed for running, but produced more locally and with more personality and stories to tell. This is how Coureur Du Dimanche was born.
We started small. Very small.
1 t-shirt available in 4 colors. 400 pieces in total brought back in the trunk of our car, ready to be sold online on our website built with the means available at the time.
Every order mattered.
Every feedback mattered.
And then, gradually, something was created. Runners began to identify with the brand, sharing their photos with our t-shirts on social media. The press covered us. Retailers trusted us. Clubs and companies reached out to us. Communities formed around our products. And we understood that Coureur Du Dimanche could be much more than just a running t-shirt brand.
11 years later, the wardrobe has grown considerably. The CDD community has too.
Coureur Du Dimanche equips you from head to toe to accompany you everywhere. But despite this evolution, one thing remains unchanged:
We don't want running to become uniform, but to remain a field of expression.
Thank you to all those who have been running with us from the beginning, and to those who are joining us today. We want to write the rest of the story with you.
