261 Club

About Us

We are a female-specific running community that focuses on the fun, social, non-competitive side of running. Women of all ability train together, support and encourage each other through running inspired activities and games. Taking the first step as a runner can be overwhelming. Many women find that a supportive place like our 261 Fearless Club is a great place to start. 

 We Love our Sponsors

Why We Are Different

Our History

The number 261 is Kathrine Switer's bib number from the 1967 Boston Marathon. She protected that bib while an angry race director attacked her in the second mile and tried to rip the numbers off her shirt. He was infuriated that a women had entered his race, declaring that it was a men's only event. Check out the whole story in her own words here.

Women from around the world have been wearing the number 261 on their outfits, bibs and body because it makes them feel Fearless in the face of adversity. Whether it's a tough marathon, a difficult business presentation or coping with the challenges of life.
