What is Courage to Run?
Courage to Run is an award-winning, nonpartisan running series and leadership community committed to being healthy to lead effectively in civic life today. We believe that whether you are running a 5K or toward Election Day, it takes an elevated set of skills that strikingly resemble the "inner game" of an elite athlete: a winning mindset, resilience, vision, courage and care.
All too often, for those of us who work in politics - from campaign volunteers to members of Congress - the first thing to go is our own well-being. The lack of taking time to exercise our bodies and minds has consequences on individual productivity, let alone our serenity. And, there is a ripple effect on our communities. By stepping forward with the Courage to Run, we commit to modeling the way. We celebrate women. We prioritize being healthy to lead effectively. We run courageously. We champion an active democracy.
Courage to Run is the proud winner of the prestigious Reed Award for Best Professional Development Initiative of 2019.
