A good run can be a small but powerful act of self-care.
Eye-opening. Soul-nourishing. Uplifting. Inspiring. Healing. And so much more. An instant pick-me-up that sets the tone for your entire week.
Joy Runs are a fun way to slow down and find more joy in the everyday.
Every week the community is set a new challenge to run their way and reflect on. In doing so, you’ll learn to re-love exercise, yourself, and your local area.
A tiny movement about movement. Joy Runs is a more joyful and equal global running community that swaps speed for soulful moments. In taking part on their own terms, Joy Runners squeeze more fun out of every run and support others to unlock the life-changing benefits of running.
A world that's more joyful and a little less lonely. Keen and wannabe runners coming together once a week to build a deeper connection to nature, themselves, and a greater whole. A welcome antidote to the fake rush and troubles of modern life.
Chief Joy Runner
Running has given me so much. With Joy Runs, I hope to help others to enjoy running’s life-changing qualities and fall in love with exercise. When not running, I’m a marketer and copywriter.
Mascot
I’m all about the beautiful sights and emotions that a good run gifts us. I believe every mile is rich in minor thrills waiting to be found, and love sharing my discoveries with others.
Joy Runs values freedom, flexibility and fun over everything else.
