Let’s Lift the Curfew

We’re encouraging women to take back the night and feel safe and empowered to run during the darker evenings. The aim is to provide night running equipment & and informing women on clubs they can get involved to support exercising for mental & physical wellbeing.

Following Sport England’s ‘Let’s lift the curfew’ campaign, The Sports Trust is teaming up with local running clubs to inform and encourage women to continue exercising safely.

Support needed:

We need volunteers to help support the running of the event, whether this be
safety marshals, people to hand out information or running buddies.

Equipment:

towards a women’s night running safety pack – please reach out.
