Join Our Resilience Running Community

Resilience Runners is a Cork City-based running community dedicated to promoting mental health, cancer awareness, and personal well-being through the power of running.

Led by the Resilience Society, our initiative welcomes runners of all backgrounds and fitness levelsโ€”from first-timers to marathoners. Whether you're running for your health, your mind, or your recovery, you're not alone.

We believe running builds more than physical strengthโ€”it fosters resilience, connection, and hope. Through weekly runs, community events, and storytelling, we support individuals navigating mental health challenges, illness, or simply seeking a positive, supportive space to grow.

We stand with those affected by cancerโ€”whether you're in treatment, in recovery, or supporting a loved one. Our runs and campaigns raise awareness and foster hope.

We capture and share real stories of resilience from our runners. Through photography, video, and written stories, we show the power of the human spirit in motion.

Join a growing worldwide network of Resilience Runners through virtual events, message groups, and social campaigns. No matter where you areโ€”youโ€™re not running alone.

Beyond running, we host local events to celebrate milestones, share experiences, and build lasting friendships.
