Free to Run Safe Marathon

Hey MTR friends - While you are out enjoying your safe and fun runs this weekend, consider a donation to and promoting Free to Run’s Safe Marathon event. Safe Marathon, which coincides with International Women’s Day this weekend, is a virtual choose-your-own distance and location run.

Free to Run is an inspiring organization that uses running and rights-based programs to support the leadership, agency, and health of girls and young women. Free to Run participants are given the tools to become leaders who know their rights, exercise self-determination, challenge negative gender norms, and boldly reclaim public spaces.

Chipping in any amount to the MTR team (link) and promoting the event on social media (Strava, etc.) in conjunction with one of your runs this weekend would be lovely. 🏃‍♀️💚
