261 Running Clubs

Our 261 Fearless Run Clubs support women in becoming active and taking their first running steps in a non-judgemental, non-competitive, inclusive environment.
We welcome women of all ages, skill levels and backgrounds to our weekly group runs, called Meet Runs.

A 261 Club is more than a running group—it’s a supportive community where women encourage each other to discover their strength through movement. Every Club is built on the 261 Fearless philosophy of empowerment, inclusion, and connection.

Whether you’re taking your first steps toward an active lifestyle or have been running for years, you’ll find a welcoming environment where everyone is encouraged to participate at their own pace. Our focus isn’t on performance or competition—it’s on building confidence, improving wellbeing, and creating lasting friendships.

We currently have 18 Clubs in 14 countries on 5 continents. You can find a full overview here.

Joining a 261 Club is easy. Simply find your nearest Club on our website and get in touch using the contact details provided. Most Clubs welcome new participants at any time, and many invite you to come along for a trial Meet Run before becoming a member.

If there isn’t a Club near you yet, we’d still love to hear from you. We may be able to connect you with others in your area or share information about starting a new Club.

261 Clubs are open to women of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and fitness levels. Many members join because they are new to running or returning after a break, while others are experienced runners who enjoy supporting and motivating others.

What everyone shares is a desire to be active, connect with others, and be part of a positive, encouraging community where every achievement—big or small—is celebrated.

Every 261 Club Meet Run is led by trained 261 Fearless Coaches. These volunteer leaders have completed the 261 Fearless Coach Education Program and are equipped to create safe, inclusive, and enjoyable sessions for women of all abilities.

Their role is not only to guide the run or walk but also to foster a welcoming atmosphere where participants feel supported, encouraged, and empowered to grow in confidence through movement.

Would you like to be a part of the 261 Fearless global network, but so far no club has been established in your area? Why not step up and start one yourself? Through our Women’s Leadership & Business Training, we will provide you with the knowledge, skills and support you need to get a new club up and running.

First step: Gather a team of at least 3 people and apply to establish, manage and lead a local 261 Club. Find out more about the unique business opportunity to set up a local non-profit in your area in our free one-hour online info session.

Every 261 Club Meet Run is designed to be welcoming, supportive, and enjoyable. Sessions typically begin with a warm welcome and briefing, followed by a group warm-up. Participants then head out for a walk, run, or a combination of both, with everyone encouraged to move at a pace that feels comfortable for them.

Coaches ensure that no one is left behind, and the group comes together again at the end for a cool-down, stretching, and time to connect. While every Club is a little different, the focus is always on creating a positive experience where women can build confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of movement.

The Meet Run is a women-only group run that focuses on the social side of running. Our certified Coaches lead you through an hour of fun and pressure-free program with different kinds of exercises embedded in games, activities, drills and strength training where fun and camaraderie come first.
