261 Fearless Club New England is proud to partner with the Esplanade Association as part of their River Fit Fall Series. We are a global women’s run group (ages 18+) dedicated to empowering and connecting women through movement. Our mission is to create a supportive, non-competitive space where women uplift each other and build confidence, strength, and fearlessness — one stride at a time.
Join us for weekly jogs led by a certified 261 coach. These 45-minute sessions are designed for all fitness levels — whether you’re new to running or looking for a motivating group experience. Together, we’ll explore the scenic paths of the Esplanade.

Pre-registration is strongly encouraged. 261 Fearless Runs/jogs will take place on Thursdays from 6:00pm to 6:45pm starting on September 25th and ending October 9th. We recommend participants to dress for appropriate weather conditions and to bring a water bottle.
