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:

  • anxiety and depression,
  • stress,
  • anger,
  • trauma,
  • other mental disorders and
  • alleviate the emotional aspects of chronic deseases such as diabetics, obesity, heart and lung conditions under the strict supervision of a family or primary care health practitioner or coach. 

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.

WORLD RUN TEAM CHICO

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.
