Running isn’t just a sport. It’s a journey, an escape, a lifeline. For some, it's about health; for others, it's about healing. At Why Run Today, we’re here to tell the stories of runners who aren’t doing it for the fame or glory, but for the sheer love of the run.
Some run for the love of distance—finding peace and purpose in every mile. Others turn to running after recovery, using it as a way to overcome addiction. For them, running is a lifeline, a victory with each step. Some run to rebuild after injury, pushing themselves to find strength again. For some, it’s about friendship, carving out time each week to balance family, fitness, and life, together. Then there are those who run for a deeper connection to nature—feeling grounded, alive, and part of something bigger with every step.
Why Run Today isn’t about the ‘hero’ runners you hear about in big races or on podcasts. It’s about the everyday runners—the ones juggling work, family, and life. The ones who run for reasons that go beyond medals or records. The ones who run to heal, to connect, to survive. These are the stories that matter.
Founded to celebrate these unsung heroes of the running world, Why Run Today believes that everyone has a story worth telling. With each new runner we feature, we are reminded that running is more than just putting one foot in front of the other—it’s about the why behind it.
So, what’s your why?
