261 Fearless Around the World: The 261 Club Israel

Through your participation in our global Running and Walking Series Move the World, you support 261 Fearless Inc. in fulfilling its mission - for example in Israel.

Your participation in Move the World changes women's lives! For example in Israel, where 261 Fearless Inc. can educate new 261 Coaches, mentor our 261 Club Director and thus spread the mission of social running and empowerment in local communities.

 

What is the 261 Fearless Club Israel?

261 Fearless Club Israel will work to establish and promote an Israeli-International community of running women, by means of three key values: running, education, and inspiration. The club’s uniqueness rests on its ability to enable every woman, of every age, religion or social status, a chance to run, learn, and develop. 

 

What is the Club's main aim?

As a first phase, we will start the club’s activity in Binyamina & in Jisr az-Zarqa. Two villages located at a physical distance of 10 km. So close but so different. The first one is Jewish and the second one is Arab, there is a huge variety in religion, language, customs, culture and more. This diversity characterizes Israeli society. We believe that running together will allow us to become one community.

 

Who are the leaders and 261 Coaches in the community?
