Our 261 Fearless Clubs are back!


Thanks to dropping COVID-19 cases in many countries, some of our 261 Clubs can slowly return to their in-person activities and resume their weekly meet runs. Of course, we still follow all recommended local hygiene regulations and keep physical distance.

Working out together in person again is an amazing boost for our 261 women – and they are enjoying the meet run fun! All over the world, we’re seeing loads of smiling faces of women connecting with each other, being active together with their soul sisters and becoming fearless in our 261 Clubs in 12 countries: from Albania to Zambia.

All women can join, no matter their ability or running experience, to benefit from one hour of activities that celebrate the social aspect of running. Especially in these challenging days being active together with other women for an hour can make a huge difference in our daily lives. Research shows that physical activity helps to cope with anxiety and uncertainty – learn more about the benefits of running to cope with anxiety.

Our 261 Coaches look out for you and make sure you’re safe when you run/walk, play games or carry out exercises with other participants. Find out where they are located and  join your 261 Club now!

Stay healthy – and enjoy every single step!
