LEARN TO BECOME A LIFELONG ALLY

In part one of our WITH WOMEN WE RUN initiative, we learned that the root cause of gender-based violence is a wider culture that accepts, perpetuates and promotes a view of women and vulnerable groups as unequal.

As we head into part two of our year-long initiative, we want to zero in on action and allyship, building on how to be an effective ally to women and non-binary runners in your running community.

We play a role in challenging gender inequality, even when we may feel it does not directly impact us. Allyship is about standing alongside others to promote their safety and well-being.

There are also many instrumental and individual reasons to become an ally. For personal fulfillment, to promote change and to live a life that is fair and equal for all.

We believe allyship can transform communities, bringing people together to change attitudes and take action to ensure that everyone is respected and feels safe.

If you haven't signed up, join us and run 8KM with us on our WITH WOMEN WE RUN challenge on the adidas Running app.

We believe that as runners and through the power of allyship, we are well placed to transform running culture and in doing so, create a more gender-just world. As a community, now and always.
