Who we are
Mission To make running safe and accessible for everyone, everywhere.
VisionA future where every community has connected, safe, and inspiring running corridors.
Safe2Run is a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in August 2025 to build a movement for safe running in America.
Our vision is to help cities across America to create networks of Safe2Run routes where they will invest to create next generation running infrastructure and provide ongoing management to deliver truly safe and accessible running for all.
We know Safe2Run routes must provide for personal safety, safe sidewalks and trails, meet bodily needs, and provide a clean and cool environment for running.
Come join us in building a Safe2Run movement and making it happen in cities across America!
