THE SECRET 3K – RUNNING, WALKING & WORKING TOGETHER FOR EQUALITY 2022


THE SECRET 3K – WE RUN, WALK AND WORK TOGETHER FOR EQUALITY

What if you had to keep your run a secret? What if you couldn’t train or run outside for fear of attack? For many women and girls around the world this is their reality. The Secret 3K was originally inspired by women who had to train and run in secret for the  marathon of Afghanistan. Their story of courage inspired the award winning documentary film, The Secret Marathon and showed us that by creating safe races, we can create safe places.

Join us and support

On Wednesday, March 2 thousands of people around the world will lace up their runners to show their support for everyone’s right to run free. For every registration, 261 Fearless will receive a donation for every registration to the Secret 3K. So, you’ll support women’s running in two ways – once by running the Secret 3K and by helping us educate women who inspire others to find fearlessness and personal empowerment through running.

Let’s run together for making running accesible. No one should have to keep their run a secret to stay safe, let’s work towards creating a world where everyone can run free!
