No matter the distances covered, all races end at some point. . . but our sense of community does not.

What is adidas Runners?

CREATE AN IMPACT BEYOND RUNNING

adidas Runners is dedicated to building a healthy world we are proud to be part of—not simply improving our individual selves. We use the adidas Runners platform to enact positive change in the social and environmental issues affecting us all.

BELONG TO A STRONGER COMMUNITY

Each runner is only as strong as their community. Detach from the maddening need to go faster during every run. Guidance, support, motivation, and inspiration set adidas Runners apart, forging a sense of belonging that resonates long after a run ends.
