🏃 Running With Purpose: Meet Ethan Kraus
The October issue of Cooper City Living is here, featuring Ethan Kraus, founder of the Cooper City Run Club, on our cover!
Born and raised in Cooper City, Ethan grew up on its baseball fields, attended its schools and built lifelong friendships here. Today, he’s giving back to the community that helped shape him — one run, one connection and one Saturday morning at a time.
What began in 2024 as a simple idea to bring people together through running has grown into something much bigger. Cooper City Run Club is about movement, friendship, accountability, wellness and belonging — with one simple requirement: just show up.
Ethan’s philosophy extends far beyond running: “Movement is medicine” and “Collaboration over competition.” Whether someone is training for a race, trying running for the first time or simply looking for their people, there’s room for everyone.
Pick up the October 2026 issue of Cooper City Living to read Ethan’s full story, All Paces. All People. One Community.
