Creative Running Therapy (CRT)
(Our Own Definition)
CRT brings the power of the mind into a joyful and perfect unity of the body through the curative experience of creative running.
Using a combination of psychodynamic approach, positive affirmations, and exercise, Creative Running Therapy (CRT) is a simple, powerful, effective, and therapeutic method for managing:
The Did Not Finish (DNF) and Did Not Start (DNS) Mental Syndromes
CRT is an effective and efficient method to cure two of the worst mental health syndromes of all athletes, especially to runners, who invested time, money and energy for training for an important race such as a MARATHON, an IRONMAN or SPARTAN race and they do not start or complete them, which are the DNF and DNS Mental syndromes, Did Not Finish and Did Not Start respectively.
We, at CLRCLUB and CRTF, are experts on curing, for all ages and genders, these paralyzing and traumatic mental syndromes of DNF and DNS severely affecting our best Atletes and Runners for many years relegating them to anonymity for ever.
ALL STARTS & Continues with SCIENCE: To CREATE together a space for Technology and the Science of Running / Nutrition / CROSS-TRAINING / Performance & Endurance / Love / Longevity / Mental Health / Medicine / Geriatrics & Psychology (POSITIVE) to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle to live - as "Homo Deus"- more than 150-Years happy and healthy within the development of the system and method of the META-CREATIVERUNNER theory.

WORLD RUN TEAM CHICO is a branch of the CLRC made up of our best athletes who have dedicated themselves to a special cause, dear to the heart of the Creative Runners.
The mission of WORLD RUN TEAM CHICO is to raise awareness about the dangerous cancer known as Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSGDTCL) which is a rare and aggressive extra nodal lymphoma. This rare form of cancer kills a couple of hundred of people each year. The peak incidence is in adolescents and young adults, and is more common in males. It is aggressive, fast-growing cancer affecting the liver, spleen, and sometimes the bone marrow. In most cases, HSTCL is usually fatal.
The goal of WORLD RUN TEAM CHICO is to run the 6 Major World Marathons Series (CHICAGO-NEW YORK-BERLIN-TOKYO-LONDON-BOSTON) and through doing this raise money to send to organizations dedicated to researching and treating T-cell Lymphoma.
The Death of Chico
After the death of their 34-year old son Chico (July 31, 2019) to a rare lymphoma, Dr. Jorge Piña (President and CEO), Carmen Haché and Karina Rieke (Vice-President and Race Director) embarked on an ethical path to rethink how to live creatively. The death of their son impacted how they view their philosophy of life, which includes art and culture, metapoetry, running therapy, meditation, psychoanalysis, work and more.
That is why they have created this year, the WORLD RUN TEAM CHICO to run the 6 major marathons in honor of Chico, which will be in Chicago, NYC, Tokyo, London, Berlin and Boston.
