It's a new dawn. It's a new day. And we just want to feel good. But how? Choosing joy is a decision we can make everyday. To feel that magic, that spark, that lightness, that strength. It's a force that we can say YES to. It's a feeling we have the power to cultivate. It's what we call: joy to the run. So what does that look like? 


It's a celebration of going the distance.

That free flow of a solo effort.

It's where creativity takes flight.

That sunshine on your skin.

Good soul in your feet.

It’s teammates coming together.

It's that floaty, lightness of a run that comes easy.

It's the triumph of hard work that pays off.

So why not joy everyday? What stands in the way?

Vulnerability of the unknown.

The starting line what ifs

Fear of the fall out.

So how do we say yes to joy and silence the voice of fear? 

We give recognition to vulnerability. We tell fear that it's welcome on the ride, but it can't steer the ship. We take a brave breath and we take the helm. We take chances, because it's a hell of a lot more interesting than staying small, staying safe, staying comfortable. And we embrace the glorious ride and all of the goodness that comes with choosing joy. 

We want to know… what does #joytotherun look like for you?
