Bystander Training for Runners
We've teamed up with Fairspace to offer a dynamic workshop on how to safely intervene when you witness harassment or threatening behavior during running, racing, or in daily life. This session is free and open to all runners, whether you’ve ever felt unsafe on a run, witnessed harassment, or want to be part of creating a more supportive running culture.
After the workshop, we’ll head out for a relaxed 5K along the Singel.
Agenda
18:30 – Doors open, welcome, light refreshments
18:45 – Workshop begins
19:45 – Wrap up/Q&A
20:00 – Optional social run (5K out and back along the Singel, beginner-friendly pace)
Following recent reports of harassment and assaults involving women runners in Utrecht and elsewhere in the Netherlands, including numerous incidents involving young men on fatbikes, it’s more important than ever to equip runners with practical skills to support one another.
This event is open to all, and we especially encourage male allies to join us.
Secret 3K
Run Her Way joined runners around the world to participate in the Secret 3K – a virtual run to support the right of women and girls to move safely and freely in their communities.
The event draws inspiration from girls in Afghanistan who ran in secret, defying threats and barriers to claim their right to participate in public life. Today, the Secret 3K is a global act of solidarity, supporting gender equality and the safety of women and girls everywhere.
In Utrecht, we welcomed runners for a 3K route through Wilhelminapark.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, ran in solidarity, and helped amplify the message: Everyone deserves the right to run free.
