Our aim is to reach out to all women and to unite and empower them through our network of non-competitive running clubs. We currently have eight 261 Clubs in the UK which are making a difference to the lives of women in their communities. But, we want to do more. We want to reach more of the most vulnerable women and your fundraiser bib money will go directly towards helping us to grow, open new clubs and change more lives in the UK.
