There are multiple Maze Runners in the Maze Runner series, who are teenagers called "Gladers" that enter and explore the Maze. The main group known as the Gladers includes many boys and some key characters such as Thomas, Minho, Newt, and others. In the films and books, there are at least four different mazes with different groups of children (Maze A, B, C, and D). Each maze has its own group of Maze Runners, with Group A (the Gladers) being the primary focus. To summarize:
- The first maze, inhabited by Group A Gladers, contains multiple Maze Runners including Thomas, Minho (Keeper of the Runners), Newt, and others.
- There is a second maze for Group B Gladers with mostly girls and one boy, Aris.
- There are hints of two more mazes (C and D) inhabited by other groups, but they are less explored.
- The exact total number of Maze Runners is not precisely stated, but it is a sizable group across all mazes. For example, Group A alone consists of multiple runners who map the maze daily.
So the Maze Runner universe features multiple runners across at least four mazes, with the main focus on the runners from Group A (The Glade), led by key characters such as Thomas and Minho.
