BACK IN STRIDE

Off Balanced was founded by Jon Vasquez in August 2022 behind this mantra that Life often throws us off balance, but it’s all about how we get back in stride. 

With the desire to just run with people, came Off Balanced Run Club. What started off with just four runners has grown to a beautiful community within Tampa Bay. OBRC welcomes people of all paces, whether you choose to run or walk. It’s all about us moving together, to get back in stride. 

A Message from the Founder 

Being born and raised in New York City, the mantra of Off Balanced is something I live. There are so many things in life we can’t control. We can’t control when we get stuck in traffic. We can’t control sudden life changes. We can’t control the weather conditions we run in. But instead of focusing on what we can’t control, why don’t we focus on what we can? We can’t prevent off balanced moments, but we can control how we get back in stride.

Moving to the Tampa Bay area, I wanted to bring this same mentality. I wanted to create a community of all people, paces and backgrounds all around this idea of us getting back in stride and what better way to do it than through running! I love the community that has been birthed from this and look forward to continuing getting back in stride, together.
