Courage to Run is the nation's premier running series and civic leadership community committed to being healthy to lead effectively in civic life today. We know that - now more than ever - being successful in politics requires an "inner game" that strikingly resembles that of an elite athlete: winning mindset, resilience, vision, courage and care. Because whether running a 5K or toward Election Day, it take courage to run.

Run x Lead
Women electeds, women candidates and supporters of women running for office are joining the #couragetorun from their communities across the country. Since our fall 2018 launch, people have participated in more than 30 states. In past years, candidates in California and Pennsylvania ran with volunteers and their campaign teams . Others in Ohio, Massachusetts and Maryland turned their Courage to Runs into a women's door-to-door canvass, while others in North Dakota and North Carolina transformed their morning workouts into one powered by purpose. A team of Wyoming women electeds and candidates - Democrats and Republicans - ran together as a sign of unity and to demonstrate what healthy leadership looks like. From Washington to Rhode Island, Alaska to Texas, Missouri to Florida, Colorado to Kansas and more, Americans are running to support women's political leadership, and to be healthy to lead effectively. Welcome to the movement - literally.
TrainDownload our free Courage to Run app in iOS to build the inner game of an elite athlete. The app contains evidence-based mental, physical and leadership skill drills that build the literal and figurative muscle to cross the finish line strong. We're adding new exercises each week up to Election Day.
