Our Free
Forde Event
All welcome, no rego required.
Choose your own pace and distance.
Meeting Point
On Sunday at 3:00pm we meet at the Frankies at Forde.
People usually start arriving 10 to 15 minutes before the starting time for a stretch and chat.
If you're coming alone, get in touch and keep an eye out for one of our volunteers.
Run or Walk
As a group, we start every R4R by walking the first 200-500m. This is an opportunity to check in with ourselves and each other. After that, you can decide whether you walk or run, and how far.
Just aim to be back at the starting point in about 30 minutes.
Post-Exercise
After exercising we all meet back at Frankies at Forde for a drink and chat.
Safety
As our community grows, it is important that we continue to ensure the safety of ourselves and those using around us.
Please bring a headlamp or flashlight during the winter months as some sections of the course are very dark.
Keep left, ensuring that there is a clear path for people and cyclists heading in the position direction.

Running for Resilience is an unstructured concept that has been embraced by the Canberra and Mental Health communities. If you choose to take part in the weekly runs, you do so at your own risk. Running is a physically active sport and you should always seek advice from your doctor beforehand as to any pre-existing injury or medical condition. Running for Resilience webpage and social media owners and operators or those organising the weekly runs are not always present at the weekly runs. They do not accept responsibility for any injury, loss or damage sustained by any participant.

We welcome dogs to our Running for Resilience events. If you are going to be running with a dog you must ensure it is under your full control on a short lead at all times. Your dog must remain with you at all times and cannot be left alone along the course or at the start line.
Our community is ever evolving. We are committed to learning and adapting to ensure that our events remain as safe as possible. If you have a safety concern or idea about how we can make Running for Resilience safer, please let us know.
