Wanted to take a moment to congratulate our Safe Space Running Sponsored athletes for completing the Grandview Yard and Akron 10k. Running and walking can be hard, but wanted to take a moment to join in celebrating a well earned finish. 🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Speaking personally, I’m so proud of every last one of the SSR cohort that is out chasing goals. Whether it was at the start line of Grandview, building your base, returning from injury, or training for fall races, I truly believe in you all and honored to work with you.

The 2026 Cohort is full, but if interested to be part of sponsored coaching, check out the website for more details!

As she explores running and movement, TheeDeanietheyogini (Medals 2 the Mat) has continued to evolve her goals to align with her happiness and age. She sits with Safe Space Running to talk about the older runners / walkers and things the community should look out for to ensure everyone feels like they belong

Thank you Adina for your time in sharing your story and your work in the space. Also she was recently highlighted in the Boston Running Scene Mag so check it out!

Big announcement!

Safe Space Running will have a space (ha) at the Grandview Yard Celebration area, but we are mixing things up. In part, we wanted to make sure that we acknowledge the MANY clubs and orgs that prep many of the runners/walkers for these big days. One day is often comprised of many days of training fostered by our local walk/run communities

Stop by the Safe Space Running tent on Sunday to connect with fellow runners, learn about clubs in Central Ohio, and most importantly celebrate yourself and others!

So excited to see everyone this Sunday!

Are you a club thats looking to be part of the highlight? Please reach out via DM to us!

Looking back on June 14 for the first Inaugural Safe Space Running Community Day fills me with such joy. 37 run, walk, and fitness clubs. 150 participants. THE FIRST YEAR.

Seeing the amount of connections and new friendships forged was something special to see. It was a true labour of love for the community that has given myself and Columbus so much.

As planning begins for next year to make it bigger and better, the core will remain the same. To continue to foster relationships between our run/walk communities and celebrate every journey. Whether it’s a group of 3 friends or 100+ run club, every individual that shows up to move deserves to be celebrated. And know that Safe Space Running is here to support you in that 🫂

What do YOU want to see for next year’s event? Let us know in the comments!

Is your club looking to be a part? Connect with us as we continue to keep the city moving 🙌🏽

Trey wanted to have a community that was more than just miles. He wanted others to feel like they have community to rely on beyond fitness. In such, Good Motion Run Club was formed to show that theres more to group runs than just the run.

Catch him and the crew Fridays at 6:30pm at Goodale Park

Safe Space Running held its quarterly meetup with local run, walk, and fitness orgs to network and share best practices with one another. This quarter’s theme was around “Sustaining a Healthy Club”. Our panel talked their experiences about inclusion, safety, retention, and assistance in running a club for longevity and health of their clubs.

Interested in attending the next? Visit the link in the bio and subscribe to our Eventbrite for future sessions. Huge thank you to those that attended in the spirit of keeping Columbus moving

Shannon Booker is grateful for the gift that running and the ATL community has given him. In such he’s found ways to give back to the community. Whether it’s leading Adidas Runners or working through his Non Profit the Sole Project, he’s become a leader and a trusted source in the run community.

Thank you Shannon for your impact and influence to runners in ATL and beyond.

Redemption can take many forms. For Collin Chartier , once ranked 11th in triathlons but suspended for doping, it became outreach. This has culminated into running from Boulder Colorado to Washington DC in collaboration with Herren Project for recovery and addiction awareness.

As part of his route, he stopped through Columbus Ohio to connect with local agencies and a few run clubs to connect and allow others to share their recovery journey.

The world needs more redemption arcs and if you would like to be a part of someone’s recovery journey, support local agencies and feel free to check Collin Chartier page for more details on how.

Christine Guerrero wears hard work and dedication on her sleeve. She’s pursued excellence on the course and often has become a beacon of representation for BIPOC where often there’s not many that look like her in the elite field. Safe Space Running talks with her to learn more about her experience, the art of pivoting, and her influence to many runners, including the host. 

Thank you Christine for showing what hard work and dedication looks like and being an amazing individual. Congratulations on the newest arrival!
