Welcome to our Insights Hub.

Here you’ll find global research, innovative campaigns, practical toolkits, case studies, organizations, and community initiatives — all contributing in different ways to empower women and girls through running, and to advance safety, access, and inclusion in movement.

This is a space to explore, share, and take action.
