By centering community voices and advancing equity, the toolkit equips users with frameworks, practical tools, and real-world examples to foster environments where everyone, including women runners, can move freely and safely. Its adoption has catalyzed new partnerships, policy reforms, and grassroots initiatives aimed at reimagining public safety in U.S. cities.

The Adidas With Women We Run Toolkit is a comprehensive resource developed by Adidas Runners in partnership with gender equality experts and social impact consultants to address harassment and violence against women in running.

The toolkit has sparked global conversations, influenced local safety initiatives, and catalyzed cultural change within the running community, promoting lasting impact for women’s safety and equity.

The Public Sexual Harassment Guidance for Run Clubs, created by the advocacy group Our Streets Now, is a detailed, research-informed toolkit designed to help running clubs of all types address public sexual harassment (PSH). Its primary goal is to empower clubs to foster a culture of zero tolerance toward harassment, implement effective response protocols, and collect data to drive systemic change. The toolkit has already sparked discussion among running communities, inspired policy reviews, and encouraged more clubs to adopt formal safeguarding measures, marking a significant step in the movement for safer, more inclusive running spaces.

The “Keeping Women Warm to Sport in Winter” toolkit, produced by Women in Sport UK, provides evidence-based guidance for clubs, coaches, and community groups to sustain and grow women’s participation in running and outdoor sport during winter months. Drawing on research into barriers such as safety concerns, cold weather, and lack of supportive environments, the toolkit offers actionable strategies to address these challenges. Its impact includes influencing club programming, raising awareness of gendered safety issues, and sparking national campaigns to make winter sport more accessible and enjoyable for women.

The Safe and Inclusive Sport: Preventing Gender-Based Violence (PGBV) Summary Toolkit, developed by Sport and Recreation Victoria, provides sports organizations with evidence-based strategies to prevent gender-based violence (GBV) and create safer, more inclusive environments. The toolkit is highly relevant to women’s running safety, as it addresses the root causes of harassment and exclusion in sport, and offers concrete measures for clubs, coaches, and administrators to implement. Its adoption has led to policy reforms, improved safeguarding protocols, and a culture shift toward zero tolerance for GBV in Victorian sport.
