Move the World 2020


The global 261 Fearless Running and Walking Series Move the World stretched over four different event weeks, with participants completing an activity of their choice, including running, walking, cycling and even chopping wood! We congratulate each participant for being active!

Every step counted in this series, supporting our mission of empowering women through running. Funds raised enable 261 Fearless Inc. to continue educating current and future 261 Coaches, offer mentorship for 261 Club Directors and expand and strengthen our 261 Club network worldwide. Our programs have a life-long impact on women who become active, empowered and dare to step up. We moved their world!

Move the World had over 1100 registrations from 15 countries on all five continents. We’ve received hundreds of pictures of smiling and happy faces of women, men and children who completed their activities and contributed to our cause. Move the World will continue in 2021 with another running and walking series – stay tuned for more information!
