# Who we are: Kalenji#### Find your rhythm, enjoy your runFrom **Villeneuve d'Ascq**, near Lille in the north of France, the **79 men and women** who make up the Kalenji brand design, create, and build while drawing from their passion for running day in day out, all whilst thinking 10, 100 years into the future. This constant search for new innovations goes hand-in-hand with Kalenji's aim to get as many people running for the long-term as possible, from the age of 6 and up.With Kalenji, It's **important to run at your own pace**: this is something that only your body – and not your willpower – can dictate; the rhythm at which each one of us feels in sync with ourselves and with nature. The brand's most important goal is to make the pleasure of running available to everyone by awakening and nurturing that most natural and demanding of urges: the desire to run.###### Kalenji, the French running brandKalenji, a brand entirely dedicated to running, offers a complete range of running gear for all levels, terrains and distances.At Kalenji, the runner takes priority.
