Grateful Mile Events
2024
An in-person GRATITUDE & MOVEMENT experience we have created for run clubs, crews & communities from around the world to invite deeper human connections, build more active communities & to share grateful miles together. For us, we truly believe this captures everything the GRATEFUL MILE is about...
Through G1 we can now grow & enable others to facilitate a unique experience, connecting through MOVEMENT + GRATITUDE, a mile at a time.
A "Grateful Mile" set up & opened up within communities for a set amount of time. Within this time, 30 minutes for example, walkers, runners are invited to walk, and or run a mile or 2 (or 3) creating an environment for everyone to get active whatever their pace.
We work with clubs, crews & groups by providing starter packs o bring this important & uplifting way to move to their community, all they need to get going from gratitude signage, resources & more.
The energy of in-person experiences, invites deeper human connections, a time to reflect & dive into gratitude, its inclusive, sustainable & of course all centred around the power of "A GRATEFUL MILE".
G1 exists not to be another thing, not to compete, not to be better than something else, not to an "instead of". G1 is here to unite, add value to incredible running & movement communities that already are doing incredible work within their communities.
To connect with themselves, others & their surroundings.

November 2023 Run Grateful took our unique 24 hours of MOVEMENT + GRATITUDE event across the world to Bondi, Sydney. Partnering with the incredible 400 Run Club & the amazing Trent Knox, we were humbled by our welcome & were overwhelmed with the event and the whole trip. As it was mens mental health month we connected a few guys together to go on this 24 hour journey together. This is what happened. Thank you to everyone who took part, supported and championed us, we will be back sharing more grateful miles in 2024. Glory days, PE Nation and Nimbus... Grateful for your support in making this event happen.

Our 2nd time of doing this & what a day! We invited a few from around the UK & Europe to meet, connect & run/walk some grateful miles together. We had a unique 24-hour experience together & was joined throughout the day by local schools, friends & family. We are so grateful to everyone who supported us in making this happen. We are proud of the work we do at Run Grateful & keen to do a lot more! Let us know what you think of the video below. Next year we aim to go to Manchester & a couple of other places around the 🌎 #GratitudeMoves

A short 11-minute film highlighting the emotive highs and lows of each participant partaking in the life-changing Run Grateful Challenge. Personal stories were told. Negative emotions were let go. New perspectives were gained - all while clocking in a full marathon's distance over 24 hours.
26.2 Mile/24 Hour Run Grateful Challenge 2020
Events - where it all started for us.
During lockdown in May 2020, our founder Mark took on a challenge to running 5k, then a mile, on the hour, every hour for 24 hours!
Mark decided to add a creative and meaningful purpose to the challenge by dedicating each mile to people & experiences he was GRATEFUL for in his life. After such an uplifting day and positive feedback from those that followed him, Mark began exploring ways he could help others experience the benefits and power of connecting MOVEMENT to GRATITUDE.
Our Grateful Mile Events were born! But no one needs to run for 24hrs, it all begins with 1 grateful mile!
Every year we invite others to join our unique '24 Hours of Gratitude' experience.
Also, after the success of our 24 hour experience & eager to create more in person experiences, in 2024 after all our learning over the years & piloting the concept in Malawi, Jordan, Tunisia, Bulgaria & London we are proud to launch G1.
