The Run for Resilience Project aims to apply a holistic approach addressing social and emotional elements of community health outcomes and use running as the consistent variable. We want to highlight to our local community how this approach can create a positive impact and can develop healthy and sustainable habits to support overall mental health and wellbeing.
The pilot of Run for Resilience in 2023 was a huge success and we want to keep this momentum going. Please reach out if you would like to discuss further or look over the 2023 Final Report.
